Bad File Descriptor - Heroku Foreman

Question

I'm trying to run hello.py from this Python Heroku tutorial . My problems began after running this command: foreman start . I got the following error even though I installed the Heroku Toolbelt :

foreman is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

So I added the location of the foreman file (version 0.63.0) to my path :

C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Heroku\\ruby-1.9.2\\bin

and restarted the command prompt and reran foreman start . Now, I'm getting this error:

hello.py

import os
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return 'Hello World'

Procfile

web: gunicorn hello:app

EDIT 1

After reading this answer , I did the following:

gem uninstall foreman   
gem install foreman -v 0.61.0

However, when I reran foreman start I'm getting this error now

(venv) C:\Users\me\Desktop\Code\heroku_python_app>foreman start
14:13:20 web.1  | started with pid 252

pts\gunicorn-script.py", line 9, in <module>

Any assistance will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
