Question: is this a hack to get some Python on Heroku or is it a valuable potential Django server? When I did Rails work, I loved Heroku. Now that I do Django work, I love ... well ... my own server. I'm sure I should check out the various like-Heroku-but-Django services out there, but I'm used to Heroku. Valuable? Or move along nothing to see here? Note: I see maaku's note about runserver, but I can hope can't I? Note 2: as this comment lingers, can anyone recommend a living, non-invite-only Django hosting service?

It's not a hack. Heroku's Cedar stack supports Python applications, first-class.

  Python and/or Django aren't listed anywhere here: http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cedar http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cedar Suggests that Python/Django aren't so much first-class as incidental...

python apps are not officially supported by Heroku, Looks like python app support is added for Facebook Apps to run on Heroku? (http://www.heroku.com/facebook http://www.heroku.com/facebook) However, heroku.com says "Run Anything" :)

I've used a couple of the django-heroku clones, Djangy, Gondor and Ep.io. Djangy is no more. Gondor is nice but lacking critical features (background jobs, caching... etc.), and generally seems like a sideshow to their consulting business. ep.io is ahead in features and quality so far. I have not tried DjangoZoom, as I was a little bit annoyed that they required me to pay for beeing in their beta test program.

  Gondor has caching (has for a while) and background jobs will be available this week. Gondor is not a sideshow to the consulting; if anything, it's the other way around :-)

    Nice to hear. I didn't see anything about caching / Redis in the docs. I definitely had a good experience with Gondor.io.
