me again...can I please have some help, going a little bonkers here..
I have a simple Python script that I would like to connect to a scheduler task in Heroku...Its all going fine until I try deploy to Heroku. Its super simple script and its doing my mind in trying to work out why I cant deploy it.
Followed the instructions exactly from here..

Ive been into Heroku web interface and selected buildpack of Python (hoping that might be it), but still no luck.
Im on a Mac, using Visual Studio Code, with embedded terminal.
Any thoughts people?
Would be so grateful for any help.
Thanks again

problem pushing changes to GitHub because of file that's not really there

I imported TensorFlow to the project but then removed it, when trying to delete it from the terminal it's not there (and when looking for it manually).
any help would be appreactied!

Since you should not push any generated binary file anyway, start first by removing them locally, commit and push:
git rm -r '*.so' -f
echo '*.so' >> .gitignore
But if that still fails, it means you are trying to push past commits (not just the latest one) with *.so files, even though the last commit no longer includes any such files.
If that is the case, since git filter-branch is soon deprecated, consider newren/git-filter-repo to remove any large files like those *.so ones, before pushing (or force pushing of that rewrites the content of past commits previously pushed).

I have a problem with pushing my bot files to heroku

I want to push my bot to heroku (used TechWithTim's tut) and don't know why it don't works...

git production , development environment

I have a project of python files on a network drive called "Development".
I create branches off Development for new features and then merge back into Development once finished. Others in future will also do this.
I want to push "Development" into another separate folder called "Production" and for the life of me cannot figure out how to do this.
Please any suggests? How to do this?
Thanks.
I get this error when attempting.

Option A
You can clone your Development project into another folder.
Synopsis:
git clone <repository> <directory>
Example:
git clone <path/to/Development> Production
Option B
Copy the content of folder Development (including .git folder) to folder Production.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte when deploying to Heroku

I'm trying to follow this tutorial: http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/index.html
I'm up to this part: http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/deploy/README.html
Where I am to push it up to heroku via git. I'm familiar with git just not heroku and while I know python I'm a django beginner.
When I do the command git push heroku master i get this output which prevents the app from being deployed.
Here is the error I am receiving:
(myvenv) $> git push heroku master

does anyone have any idea why this is occurring? heroku seems nice to use, is there a better alternative/what are the best use cases for heroku? I really just want to solve this issue so I can continue the tutorial. Learning django has been a goal of mine for a while as I'm sick of Word Press and PHP development and have been a long time Python lover.
After that error when I try the next step: heroku ps:scale web=1 i get this output:
Scaling dynos... failed
! App mus tbe deployed before dynos can be scaled.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Here's my requirements.txt:
Django==1.8
dj-database-url==0.3.0
gunicorn==19.3.0
heroku==0.1.4
python-dateutil==1.5
requests==2.6.0
whitenoise==1.0.6
psycopg2==2.5.4`
I have tried saving as UTF-8, ANSI, UTF-16. Same message for all of them. I even rewrote it without copy paste. Why is my first byte always 0xff regardless of encoding? What is heroku expecting and is there a way/tool to check the bytes in a txt file?

On the shoulders of the other contributors to this question, it looks like your requirements.txt file is encoded as UTF-16 little endian.
0xFF is the first character of the Byte Order Mark for UTF-16-LE, the second character being 0xFE. The traceback states that the first character is 0xFF in position 0, and it is common in Windows for files to be stored as UTF-16 with the BOM.
Try saving the requirements.txt file as UTF-8 without BOM, or as ASCII. Simple old notepad.exe might do the trick.
Edit
Not working in notepad, so use Python 3 instead:
with open('requirements.txt', encoding='utf-16') as old, open('requirements_new.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as new:
new.write(old.read())
requirements_new.txt will now be encoded as UTF-8 and should work (it will probably end up as ASCII anyway).
Note that this is based on the comments and answers of others which have suggested that the troublesome file is requirements.txt.

See this answer: Deploying Django/Python 3.4 to Heroku
pip is crashing because your requirements.txt file is encoded wrong. Save it in UTF-8 ANSI encoding.

I fixed it, the problem seemed to occur only when requirements.txt was generated on windows no matter what encoding I picked. I generated the file in ascii on Linux and it worked. I then transferred the file to windows and it worked there as well. Therefore the problem must be the requirements.txt encoding as was mentioned in comments. However, the correct encoding appears to be ASCII.
