Should the flask folder be a part of my project?

I have a flask web app. The flask folder is pretty heavy. Do I need to add it to my git repository in order for the app to work with Heroku? Should I add the flask folder to git ignore and not commit it to my git repository?

Nope, you can use a pip requirements file to your project and specify that you need Flask and Heroku's build process will download and install Flask for you:

# requirements.txt
Flask==0.9

I would recommend reading through Heroku's tutorial on developing with Python on their platform to learn more about pip and virtualenv. You'll find them both very useful if you continue to work with Python 2.x.
