I was trying to deploy my django project on heroku from heroku cli. So I created an app and then I ran git push heroku master from the project directory. Then I got the errors:

remote: -----> $ python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

remote:        ImportError: No module named 'decouple' 
remote:  
remote:  !     Error while running '$ python manage.py collectstatic --noinput'. 
remote:        See traceback above for details. 
remote:  
remote:        You may need to update application code to resolve this error. 
remote:        Or, you can disable collectstatic for this application: remote:  
remote:           $ heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1 
remote:  
remote:        https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets 
remote:  !     Push rejected, failed to compile Python app. 
remote:  
remote:  !     Push failed

So as it is mentioned, I ran heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1. Then the codes were pushed in the repository. Then I ran heroku run python3 manage.py migrate. But still I got the same error saying:

File "/app/funderpreneur/settings.py", line 15, in

from decouple import Csv, config ImportError: No module named 'decouple'

But I have python-decouple installed locally for both python 2 and 3. And also the whole project is running on django version 2 and python version 3.5.2. But in the runtime.txt I have set python-3.6.4. I have requirements.txt where decouple is already there.

In my settings.py I had

import django_heroku
django_heroku.settings(locals())

But I was getting errors so I commented them. Still getting error.

What is wrong or what am I doing wrong?

Edit

My requirements.txt:

dj-database-url
django
gunicorn
psycopg2
whitenoise
dj-static
Unipath
python-decouple
Pillow
Markdown
bleach
python-decouple
django-material
raven
django-debug-toolbar
django-tables2
django-phonenumber-field
django-guardian
django-notifications-hq
djangorestframework

I also had this problem, but by adding

python-decouple==3.1

into the requirements.txt file, I was able to get past it!
