I'm trying to create a Buildpack designed specifically for deploying Web2py-based applications on Heroku.
Buildpacks are shell programs that are used to build & deploy slugs on Heroku. The buildpack runs *before* the web2py application is launched. It is basically a kind of deploy hook. The features I'd like to include in the web2py buildpack are : - Byte-compilation of the web2py application - Migration and/or re-creation of the .table files - Installation of pip dependencies This would allow automatic optimization of the run speed and tackle the very tricky ephemeral filesystem of Heroku. I could really use some insights about how I should go about building this. Specifically, I need to know how to know how to byte-compile directly from the shell or from a python script and what strategy I should use to handle migrations at deploy-time ? This is the official buildpack for Python, which I intend to build mine upon : https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python This is the documentation for the Buildpack API provided by Heroku : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpack-api -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
