Question

Have been pushing my git to Heroku for some time and always worked. Made some changes and tried to do it again, and ran into this

Downloading/unpacking pypm==1.3.4 (from -r requirements.txt(line 8))
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pypm==1.3.4(from -r requirements.txt( line 8))
No distributions at al found for pypm ==1.3.4 (from -r requirements.txt (line 8))
Storing com,plete log in /app/.pip/pip.log
Heroku push rejected, failed to compile Python/django app

error: failed to push some refs to ‘[e-mail]’

Hvae my virtual environment enabled, requirements.txt looks like this

Django==1.4.2
PIL==1.1.7
distribute==0.6.19
dj-database-url==0.2.1
gevent==0.13.8
gunicorn==0.15.0
psycopg2==2.4.5
pypm==1.3.4
pythonselect==1.3
pywin32==214
virtualenv==1.8.2
wsgiref==0.1.2

Clearly there’s a problem here. When I installed my dependencies to my virtual environment, in order to get PIL on there (couldn’t figure out another way) was to do this

virtualenv --system-site-packages ENV

My question is– it has been working before on my other app– recreated this app, built it from scratch and now trying to push to heroku and it is still not working. What can I do to fix?

Answer 1

It looks like heroku cannot find a download for pypm version 1.3.4.
It could be that that version of the package is no longer available.

Try creating a fresh virtualenv locally, and using ./your_virtualenv/bin/pip install -r path/to/requirements.txt to install these packages.

The solution might be as simple as updating the version number.
