Hi. I want to deploy a Django project on Heroku. The logic it's straightforward : create a virtualenv, install django, some other stuff, pip freeze into requirements.txt, create a git repository and git push it to project's repository. From what i've seen it seems like the service downloads the project and install virtualenv and pip on virtual server and it uses pip to install dependencies listed in requirments.txt . While pushing to remote server it looks like everything goes nicely until pip starts to install dependencies and then a error happens. I'm new to pip so maybe someone already seen this error. Thank you in advance.
Console snapshot:
ψ pip.exe freeze
Django==1.3.1
distribute==0.6.24
versiontools==1.8.3
(venv)
ψ more .\requirements.txt
Django==1.3.1
distribute==0.6.24
versiontools==1.8.3

ψ git push heroku master
