Django Heroku - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django_heroku'

Question

I am deploying on heroku a website but I am experiencing some issue. My project is called mysite-project.

I did the following:

1) Create a Procfile containing:

web: gunicorn mysite-project.wsgi

at the base root of my project (same level where manage.py is).

2) app/settings.py

import django_heroku at the top

django_heroku.settings(locals()) at the bottom of settings.py

3)

pip install gunicorn
pip install django-heroku
pip freeze > requirements.txt

4) If I run python manage.py runserver I get:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django_heroku'

Answer 1

There was a problem with:

pip install django-heroku

It was not fully installed because thee was a problem with psycopg2 that was not installed. To install psycopg2, run:

pip install psycopg2

Then you can run pip install django-heroku and the error disappeared.

You can also try installing:

pip install psycopg2-binary

if the error persists

I get the following error while trying to install psycopg2 : error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 I'm using Mac running Catalina. – Bubalo

@Bubalo Please check : #11095218 – Dray

@Dev_mjm, I, too, cannot install django-heroku because I need to install psycopg2. Installing psycopg2-binary works, but not if you want to install django-heroku. I'm on macOS Sierra – Haller

How is this an answer? He is asking you for the solution with Heroku deployment.. – Ladino

Answer 2

I had the same problem as well. I have psycopg2 installed. (for postgres)

Installing 'psycopg2- binary' solved my problem.

Answer 3

For me, the error was due to adding django-heroku to installed apps in settings.py..,removing it solved the issue.
