This is a Heroku buildpack for Python apps. The only difference from the clean Python buildpack is that this one includes ffmpeg. A pre-built version is simply cloned from dzello's repo, which was built on Heroku.
It uses virtualenv and pip.
Example usage:
$ ls
gunicorn.py.ini Procfile requirements.txt wsgi.py
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/app/.git/
$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack git://github.com/integricho/heroku-buildpack-python-ffmpeg.git
Creating random-app-name-1234... done, stack is cedar

You can also add it to upcoming builds of an existing application:
$ heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=git://github.com/integricho/heroku-buildpack-python-ffmpeg.git
The buildpack will detect your app as Python if it has the file requirements.txt in the root. It will detect your app as Python/Django if there is an additional settings.py in a project subdirectory.
It will use virtualenv and pip to install your dependencies, vendoring a copy of the Python runtime into your slug. The bin/, include/ and lib/ directories will be cached between builds to allow for faster pip install time.
To use this buildpack, fork it on Github. Push up changes to your fork, then create a test app with --buildpack <your-github-url> and push to it.
To change the vendored virtualenv, unpack the desired version to the src/ folder, and update the virtualenv() function in bin/compile to prepend the virtualenv module directory to the path. The virtualenv release vendors its own versions of pip and setuptools.
