Heroku has used a runtime.txt file for years, but as of 2023, they also support .python-version . Create the file and commit it:

def generate_random_text(length=10): """Generates a random string of fixed length.""" letters = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation return ''.join(random.choice(letters) for i in range(length)) .python version

if __name__ == "__main__": # Generate and print a random string of length 20 print(generate_random_text(20))
