Django / Heroku Deploying - ModuleNotFoundError: "No module named 'django'"

Question

I get the ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django' if I deploy my Django-Project to Heroku. Does anyone know why that is?

The complete log file, which comes after opening, is attached. I've been searching for several hours, but can't solve it...

Answer 1

In your requirements file change psycopg2-binary to just psycopg2

You are installing django-heroku==0.0.0 is that what you really want?

Answer 2

I've deployed more than 5 projects to Heroku and I have never faced like this error but it is obvious from the error message that Django is not installed probably, redeploy your project again and see if it works

Answer 3

I was able to solve the problem now. It was because I hadn't created the static_root and staticfiles_storage folders which are neccesary for production-deploying
