Deploying to Heroku with Anaconda
anaconda, django, heroku, virtualenv
Solution
I had this problem too. I wanted to deploy a django app which use numpy, sckit-learn and some other conda packages. I used the conda-buildpack but the installed packages weren't accessible from inside django. So I created a fork which extended the `PYTHONPATH` and removed the part where dependencies installed with`pip install -r requirements.txt` because this part clashed with memcached on heroku. Now I have a multiple buildpack setup with the default heroku python buildpack and my custom condas buildpack fork The `requirements.txt` is processed by the python buildpack and the `conda-requirements.txt` by the conda buildpack. Works like a charm for me.
Problem
I have a Django app I want to deploy to Heroku. I tried to follow the instructions here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-django which tells you to use virtual env. However, I'm using Anaconda, which isn't playing nicely with virtual env. Has anyone deployed a Django app with Anaconda to Heroku and can lead me through the steps?
