I am working on a project which scans user gmail inbox and provides a report. I have deployed it in heroku with following specs:

Language: Python 2.7

Framework: Django 1.8

Task scheduler: Celery (Rabbitmq-bigwig for broker url)

Now when heroku execute it the celery is not giving me the output. On Heroku push its showing Collectstatic configuration error. I have tried using whitenoise package

Also tried executing: heroku run python manage.py collectstatic --dry-run --noinput Still getting the same error.

$ heroku run python manage.py collectstatic --noinput gave the following details of the error.

File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in execute_from_command_line

from uuid import UUID, uuid4 as _uuid4, _uuid_generate_random
ImportError: cannot import name _uuid_generate_random

I have also tried to rollback heroku commit to previous working commit and cloned that code but on the next commit(changes:removed a media image from the media folder) its showing the same error again.

Thanks in advance

You are coming across this issue, which affects Python 2.7.11 (Kombu is required by Celery).

The issue is fixed in Kombu 3.0.30.
