I am trying to deploy my first django app on herok

Question

I have unsettling the buildpacks but it didn't work and I do have requirements.txt and procfile as well as virtual env.

Answer 1

Heroku only supports specifying a small set of python versions in runtime.txt. They currently only support 2.7.13 or 3.6.1. If you specify any other runtime version, you get this wholly unhelpful error.

Change your runtime.txt to use one of the supported versions.

Answer 2

I had the same problem when using python 3.5.1 but when I upgraded to python 3.6.1 everything worked.

Create a runtime.txt file and add python-3.6.1 into it and place it into your base directory which is where you have your manage.py file. That should resolve your problem.
