An utterly fantastic project starter template for Django 1.10.

• Production-ready configuration for Static Files, Database Settings, Gunicorn, etc.
• Enhancements to Django's static file serving functionality via WhiteNoise.
• Latest Python 3.6 runtime environment.

To use this project, follow these steps:

1. Create your working environment.
2. Install Django ($ pip install django)
3. Create a new project using this template

Using this template to create a new Django app is easy::

$ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-django-template/archive/master.zip --name=Procfile helloworld 

(If this doesn't work on windows, replace django-admin.py with django-admin)

You can replace helloworld with your desired project name.

$ git init $ git add -A $ git commit -m "Initial commit" $ heroku create $ git push heroku master $ heroku run python manage.py migrate 

See also, a ready-made application, ready to deploy.

Just update runtime.txt to python-2.7.13 (no trailing spaces or newlines!).
