How to run python apps using Procefile on heroku - python

I've deployed my app on Heroku and run dyno. By default it searches for main.py module and runs it, but I want to specify the folder and app to run. How can I do this?
This is how it's normally works by default
But I want to run app from the "app" folder as it illustrated in the picture

in Procfile we can include our processes and name them as it show in code below
proc_name: python folder_name/app_name.py
And run it on Heroku CLI
heroku ps:scale proc_name=1

My Python Flask-SocketIO webapp is not running on Heroku

I'm having some troubles deploying this app on Heroku. The code is on a folder, where i created a git using git init, added everything to my git and then pushed everything to Heroku before running it.
I generated my requirements.txtand my procfile looks like this:
test: python "application.py" heroku ps:scale web=1
But on my webpage nothing will load, i'm assuming because i'm only running the Python part. How can i deploy it so that Heroku will know to run not only my Python script, but also the frontend part with the javascript and index.html files?
For development, you can serve static files with Flask.
For production, use cloud CDN (like Amazon's or Google's) or add a web-server to your app (Nginx or Apache or whatever).

Running python flask gunicorn app from shell script

I build my flask app, it requires external files through the runtime.
when I build the app, meaning I run > gunicorn app:app (the app startup file is called app.py but that didn't bother). It runs awesomely.
Now when I decided to make a sort of shell script to execute it (actually to make a couple of dependencies and environment checking but for the sake of simplifying, I created startup.sh in the same directory as app.py and it contains only the following instruction unquoted: "gunicorn app:app"), it just throws errors.
and this is the last one ...
Please help..
yep just as I guessed, it should be run within the script inside a virtualenv so that it will execute python 3 :)

Django app on Heroku, deployed successfully but could not be served

I have built a simple blog app with Django by following a video and deployed it to Heroku by following another video.
The app works fine locally, but it is not working online.
Heroku gives me this error message:
This app has no process types yet
Add a Procfile to your app in order to define its process types.
I had already added a Proclife created with Notepad with these contents:
web: gunicorn mysite.wsgi
But how can I add another Procfile to an app already deployed to Heroku?
Where should I place it?
Yeah that's correct. It required file 'Procfile' in the project root directory. I have created one with below content
web: gunicorn <your-app.wsgi> -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT -w 10
And followed the below link https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile where everything is mentioned to deploy the code to heroku.
Its been long time for me working with heroku that too with test app so I am not sure if it got changed after that. But I think just following the link will work just fine.

How to run a simple python script on heroku without flask/django?

I'm trying to run a simple hello world python program on my heroku server. I'm new to heroku.I was able to successfully deploy my script to heroku.
My python script and procfile are given below,
hi.py
print("hello world")
Procfile
web: python hi.py
I got "Hello world" as output when i ran heroku run web on my terminal.But when i try to run the app using heroku web url it shows the following error.
Application Error An error occurred in the application and your page
could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.
What did i do wrong here? I'm newbie to heroku & its concepts, please do bare.
There are three types of dyno configurations available on Heroku:
Web -- receives web traffic.
Worker -- keeps processing tasks/queues in the background.
One-off -- executed once. e.g.: backup.
If you're interested in running a script, do not care about receiving web traffic on it, and don't have a queue to process, then One-off dynos are likely what you'll want to use. This would be useful for database migrations or backups and whatnot.
Minimal example below.
Sample one-off dyno with Heroku and python AKA “hello world”
This assumes you have already created your app on Heroku and are able to use Herolu CLI from the command-line.
A minimal “hello world” Python script would then look like this. Only 2 files required:
requirements.txt Required, but can be left empty.
task.py with content print("hello world")
Then deploy to Heroku, e.g.:
git add .;
git commit -m "My first commit";
git push heroku master
After that, you'll be able to run your script with heroku run python task.py (and should see the long-awaited hello world in the output.)
If you want to run your program at specific times, use the free Heroku Scheduler add-on.
FYI, Procfile is optional. If you set it to hello: python task.py then you'll be able to run your program with just heroku run hello.
(Note that leaving requirements.txt empty will trigger You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install") warnings on deploy. It's just a warning though and doesn't prevent proper deployment of the program.)
I disagree and state you want flask
main_app.py
import flask
app = flask.Flask(__name__)
#app.route("/")
def index():
#do whatevr here...
return "Hello Heruko"
then change your procfile to web: gunicorn main_app:app --log-file -

Why is my Flask app being detected as node.js on Heroku

I recently made some changes to the structure of my Flask app hosted on heroku and now heroku has decided to detect it as a Node.js app intead of a Python app. My application uses both python (Flask) for the backend api and javascript for the front end.
The changes I made included integrating npm and bower into my application to streamline the javascript development of the app.
The problem was introduced when I added a package.json to my root directory when I started using npm. It seems that the build detection script runs the nodejs detection first (here) which leads to this code: if [ -f $1/package.json ]; then
echo "Node.js" && exit 0 executing and Heroku thinks it's a nodejs app and exits before the python detection has a chance to run.
To solve this I had to manually tell Heroku that I wanted a python build using this command
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-python.
The package.json file is causing Heroku to detect it as a node.js app. To prevent this, add the file name to a .slugignore file:
echo 'package.json' >> .slugignore
git add .slugignore
.slugignore is like .gitignore. It resides in the root directory of your repository and should contain a list of filenames and wildcard patterns. The matching files remain in your git repository, but are deleted from the slug after you push to Heroku. The deletion occurs before the buildpacks run, so the node.js buildpack won't find package.json and the app won't be misidentified as a node.js app.
