(2011-10-01) Heroku Adds Python Django

Heroku has now added support for Python and Django.

Also PHP.

They make it sound like all these are only to be used with FaceBook, but others say they work fine on their own.

Update: some later detailed links

• http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django updated Feb'2012 (Git, VirtualEnv, Postgre[[SQL]], GUnicorn)
  • start with http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python includes bits of setup for your local dev environment (though it talks about Flask Python Web Framework instead of Django).
• http://blog.abhiomkar.in/2011/09/17/deploying-django-on-heroku-mac-os-x/ (uses VirtualEnv, GUnicorn)
• making deployment cheaper by moving SQL to Amazon EC2? That makes me nervous...
