Possible to use Python program on node js Heroku Dyno?

Question

I have a node js Dyno on Heroku and I've changed the script so it uses the npm python-shell module to communicate with a Python program I've written. I'd rather not translate the Python code to js as it is performance-sensitive and works best with certain python modules.

Is it possible to place the Python file in my deployment folder, push it to the Dyno and have it work somehow? I couldn't find much online for this.

Thanks a lot!

You can set up a node.js and Python environment on the same dyno by following Heroku's advice on using multiple build packs:

You can type this into the Heroku shell:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku/python

You then need to add the relevant Python start command into your Procfile so that both your Python and Node applications run side by side.
