Cannot deploy Django project on Heroku from a Ubuntu 18.04 laptop

[Mo-rema07]

Hello people,

Can I please get help? I am a noob using a Lenovo V110 running Ubuntu 18.04. I am getting an  error that I am using python 3.6.5 instead of 3.6.6. However when I check the python version using "python3 --version" I find that my version is 3.6.6. Can someone please help I have been struggling with this issue for about 2 weeks and I cannot find the solution online.

Thank you

Python 3.6.5 is not supported. You need to downgrade to supported python version or deploy to python anywhere

You can use Pipenv to specify the version of python to Heroku. Personally, I have used upto Python 3.7 to deploy my Django projects, seems to work best with Pipenv

The problem you are having has nothing to do with the python version. What heroku is saying is that you should change to python 3.6.6 which you do by adding a file to the project - see https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-python.

The problem you are getting (and that hinders you from installing your application) is that you are using a python 2.7 compatible plugin (Cheetah) - that doesn't have any python 3 code. The error is that the code is not python 3 compatible. (the syntax error you are getting at the end shows this) - to install a Cheetah that you can use, install cheetah3.

Regards,

Andréas

Thanks, I installed cheetah3 and I am no longer getting the same error message. However, regardless of the python version in my pipfile or requirements.txt Hereku installs python-3.6.5 What could be the reason for this?

[Andréas Kühne]

Hi again,

Great that you get it running. 

The reason for it not upgrading the python version is that you need to specify it in a special way on Heroku. I had the same problem - you just need to look at the following:

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-runtimes#selecting-a-runtime

Add a file called runtime.txt, add the following contents:

python-3.6.6

Regards,

Andréas
