I'm not sure what's the python way to include another library getting from github.
I'm planning to use this library https://github.com/nim901/gfycat which right now I just downloaded the zip and extract it and put that in lib folder. I have to checkin this library into the repo to work in Heroku. Is there a way to install the lib automatically from github?
Heroku has support for git-backed python dependencies via pip: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-pip#git-backed-distributions
I believe this fits your requirements better than checking the actual libraries into git. From the link above:
Anything that works with a standard pip requirements file will work as expected on Heroku.
Thanks to pip’s Git support, you can install a Python package that is hosted on a remote Git repository.
For example:
git+git://github.com/kennethreitz/requests.git
