When deployed to Heroku, python setup.py egg info did not run successfully.

Hi everybody,
I joined this group to learn more about web development. I am familiar with Java, C, and HTML, and am actively learning CSS and Python. And I'm facing some issues! Can somebody help me?

After deploying and hosting my website, I upgraded my pip version. Then I installed the pypaystack package. When I try to push to Heroku, I get the error shown below. In the development stage, the project is running smoothly.

What can be the issue? I even created a new virtual environment but the error remains.
I'm hoping that this community will assist me on my path.
Thanks!

I'm not saying nobody here will not help you, but I'm not certain the user's of this forum do much work in web development or use Heroku in their daily work.

Requests is not a built in module (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install module:

Windows

Use pip install requests (or pip3 install requests for python3) if you have pip installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use python -m pip install requests (or python3 -m pip install requests for python3)

Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use > Path\easy_install.exe requests, where Path is your Python*\Scripts folder, if it was installed. (For example: C:\Python32\Scripts)

If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, uncompress it, and then place it into the Lib\site-packages folder of your python path. (For example: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages)


Linux

For Debian/Ubuntu Python2: sudo apt-get install python-requests

For Debian/Ubuntu Python3: sudo apt-get install python3-requests
