heroku-buildpack-python VS zpy

Heroku also provides a platform as a service https://www.heroku.com/python

There are plenty of ways to host a server. Some are easy: - https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ - https://www.heroku.com/python

Set the latest Buildpack, so you get the fix that's not yet in the latest release: heroku buildpacks:set https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.git

I would not recommend this for someone who wants to deploy to Heroku since it looks like poetry still is not supported with default build pack

Biildpacks can specify add-ons in their bin/release which Auto get added for an app's first deploy. As an example check our the python buildpacks https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python/blob/main/bin/release

If the calculations are done in Python, you will need a web host that lets you run a Python interpreter. I don't know of any completely free ones like GH Pages, but paid ones are https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ and https://www.heroku.com/python. Heroku does have a free tier which you could look into, until the site gains more traffic. I am not affiliated with either site.

Have you checked out https://www.heroku.com/python ?

I am currently hosted on platform.sh and am a big fan. Before choosing them, I also considered PythonAnywhere and Heroku but I ultimately chose Platform.sh because of the simple pricing and infrastructure configuration.

Dead simple to setup and get going. Heroku is another alternative.

zpy – Zsh helpers for Python venvs, with uv or pip-tools

If your interactive shell is zsh, you could give my project zpy a try, particularly the function pipz that it provides, which is a lightweight pipx clone with great completions and good speed.

I can immediately see some things rye is doing differently, like keeping the venvs themselves free of pip and pip-tools. I wonder in your explorations if you've tried rtx for managing python installations, or my own zpy wrapper of pip-tools+venv (which can also replace pipx).

My patterns in this regard aren't exactly mainstream, as I use flit+pip-tools+zpy (the latter being my own Zsh interface for Python dependency and environment operations), but FWIW here's how I go about nested requirements.

For managing venvs and dependencies and apps, I use my own frontend to pip-tools + venv, zpy. And for running tasks which require an activated venv, I use nox.

If anyone's interested in a pipx clone with excellent tab completion, I would appreciate any feedback on pipz, a function of my zsh plugin for python environment and dependency management: zpy

For concise and practical interactive usage of those tools, with excellent tab completion, I made the Zsh frontend zpy.

I also use my own Zsh wrapper functions with it, so for example: https://i.imgur.com/YX8bWy8.png

I'm a big fan of (and small contributor to) pip-tools, but both poetry and pipenv offer management of more stuff, which understandably appeals to folks seeking a simple comprehensible workflow.

Pip-tools is also a bit lower level, offering flexibility and compatibility which I relish, but also requiring more attention from the user to set things up as they wish.

If you or anyone else enjoying pip-tools is a Zsh user and interested in trying out my higher level functions to ease interactive use of pip-tools, venvs, and also isolated app installs (like pipx), I would love some feedback on zpy: https://github.com/AndydeCleyre/zpy

I'm very happy to answer any questions about it right here or as GitHub issues.

This is FAR from some big mainstream thing, but I use (and am happy to answer any questions about) my own Zsh frontend to venv+pip-tools+pip, zpy.
