Deploy matplotlib on heroku failed. How to do this correctly?

Question

I\'ve install matplotlib in my virtualenv using pip. It was a failure at the beginning, but after I do easy_install -U distribute, the installation goes smoothl

Answer 1

Finally I'm able to manage this.

First of all, I use this buildpack: https://github.com/dbrgn/heroku-buildpack-python-sklearn To use this buildpack I run this (maybe it is not a necessary step):

heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/dbrgn/heroku-buildpack-python-sklearn/

Then I change the requirements.txt into this:

argparse==1.2.1
distribute==0.6.24
gunicorn==17.5
wsgiref==0.1.2
numpy==1.7.0
matplotlib==1.1.0
scipy==0.11.0
scikit-learn==0.13.1

The most important part here is I install matplotlib 1.1.0 (currently the newest is 1.3.0). Some "deprecated numpy API" warnings might be occurred. But in my case it seems to be alright.

And here is the result (the page site might probably down since I use the free server one) http://kokoropy.herokuapp.com/example/plotting
