This is a Heroku buildpack for Python apps, powered by pip.
Additionally, it adds support for Numpy, Scipy and Scikit-learn.
This buildpack is strongly inspired by @wyn and @ToonTimbermont. In fact, I copied a lot of code from them. It also uses binaries provided by @wyn. Thanks a lot.
In contrast to their forks, this buildpack does not require a setup.py
, it
works with a normal requirements.txt
file. Additionally, it is based on the
current version of the heroku-buildpack-python. This means that it uses a
current version of pip, which gets rid of some stack traces in the deploy log.
First of all, it is important that your requirements for Numpy and SciPy use only one of the versions available as precompiled binaries here: https://github.com/dbrgn/npscipy-binaries At the time of this writing, supported versions are:
- Numpy 1.6.1
- Numpy 1.7.0
- Scipy 0.10.1
- Scipy 0.11.0
Then specify the buildpack as usual. For a new app:
heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/dbrgn/heroku-buildpack-python-sklearn/
For an existing app:
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dbrgn/heroku-buildpack-python-sklearn/
$ mkdir testheroku
$ cd testheroku
$ git init
$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/dbrgn/heroku-buildpack-python-sklearn/
$ echo -e "numpy==1.7.0\nscipy==0.11.0\nscikit-learn==0.13.1" > requirements.txt
$ git add requirements.txt
$ git commit -m 'Added requirements'
$ git push heroku master
