A Cloud Foundry buildpack for Python based apps.

This is based on the [Heroku buildpack] (https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python).

This buildpack supports running Django and Flask apps.

Official buildpack documentation can be found at http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/buildpacks/python/index.html.

1. Make sure you have fetched submodules

git submodule update --init

1. Get latest buildpack dependencies

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle

1. Build the buildpack

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle exec buildpack-packager [ --uncached | --cached ]

1. Use in Cloud Foundry

   Upload the buildpack to your Cloud Foundry and optionally specify it by name

   cf create-buildpack custom_python_buildpack python_buildpack-cached-custom.zip 1
   cf push my_app -b custom_python_buildpack

Buildpacks use the Machete framework for running integration tests.

To test a buildpack, run the following command from the buildpack's directory:

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=cf.Gemfile bundle exec buildpack-build

More options can be found on Machete's Github page.
