How to Build a Python App with PySide or Other Dependency

Buildpack

You need to use a special Python buildpack that allows the preinstallation of wheel packages for dependencies. Check the existing buildpack to se if python_buildpack-v1.3.5-whls.zip already exists.

App preparation

1. Follow build instructions for PySide (or other) and create a wheel package.

2. Create a directory called vendor-whl inside the App tree, and move a copy of the wheel package built in the previous step to this location.

3. Push an app with our custom python buildpack.
