How to spawn Python process from Heroku Node

Question

Am trying to execute a Python script from node. It's hitting the endpoint, and runs fine locally but when I try deploy from Heroku, I get the following error log:

```

2018-10-10T01:00:14.689410+00:00 app[web.1]: events.js:183
2018-10-10T01:00:14.689416+00:00 app[web.1]:       throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

```

I tried setting the Python runtime in runtime.txt in the root directory:

```

$ cat runtime.txt

python-3.6.0

```

To answer my own question, the reason was I needed to add the Python buildpack alongside the NodeJS buildback. Discussed here: stackoverflow.com/questions/39897505/… — SelfishCosmonaut
