#2As much as I've come to enjoy and appreciate the various start-ups whose mantra was "We're Heroku with Python/Django capabilities", it will be interesting to see which of those survive the next 8-12 months now that Heroku officially supports that stack.
It'd be a shame to see ep.io and Gondor go the way of the dodo bird, but what sets them apart now?

#3$ ls
app.py,requirements.txt,Procfile
$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Init"
$ heroku create --stack cedar
$ git push heroku master
With that Heroku becomes the Heroku for Django.

#5Interesting... I wonder if this makes Google App Engine more appropriate for internal apps for Google Apps customers? For quick/easy personal hacking/development having a Python stack on Heroku seems pretty attractive now.

Maybe because it takes less code to write a "hello world" with Flask than with Django.

#8Great news! But why is the example for Flask?
found that interesting as well, given that the release is around python+django, but it makes sense for the sake of quickly doing a demo with minimal requirements.
[edit] does adding Flask in requirements.txt automatically handle the easy_install portion?

Choice. For many, simply that there is an alternative is enough to not only keep other providers around but also thrive. The hosting world is huge.

#10Django has been able to run on Heroku for a while now. This topic keeps coming up over and over again and it is very old news. There are a lot of major flaws in running Django on Heroku right now too simply because of how their system works.
