Error in deploying Python app, “app not compatible with buildpack”

Question

I got an error while deploying my Python app in Heroku, I already have requirnments.txt, runtime.txt, Procfile, I already added buildpack(heroku/python) in setting, but I got error ie "app not compatible with buildpack".

Answer 1

Have you initialized the git repo initialized in the project root directory? Also, are you using Django?

There is a very similar question posted asking this same question here . The user received the same error message, app not compatible with buildpack. This problem was fixed by initializing the repository in the root directory (root directory: git init ).

I'm also posting another link here . This is an example python app deployed to heroku. Please note the CLI commands as well to be sure there aren't any problems there for you.

Answer 2

You need to make sure that the git repo is initialized within the project root folder. If the project folder is my-project , you need to initialize git inside the folder for heroku to work.
