My app is deployed on heroku.

When I push my code via git push heroku master. It gives me this error 

Collecting pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14))
remote:          Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14)) (from versions: )
remote:        No matching distribution found for pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14))
remote:  !     Push rejected, failed to compile Python app.

requirement.txt

Note: Its working perfectly fine on my local server.

My Question is why is not working on heroku but working on local. ???

    I get that its not a direct duplicate but I'd imagine its because your local version already has it installed and therefore doesn't need to go looking for it – Sayse Nov 18 '16 at 07:27
  • can you show pip freeze output on your local env? – demonno Aug 25 '17 at 08:10
  • The [SO post mentioned above](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40670602/could-not-find-a-version-that-satisfies-the-requirement-pkg-resources-0-0-0#comment68573207_40670602) speaks to the heart of the issue. I don't know anything about Heroku, but from what I can tell, it uses an OS called _Stack_ which is [built on top of Ubuntu](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack). I'm wondering if Adil wasn't running a Ubuntu/Debian distro locally, and so his issues only appeared when pushing his code up to Heroku. – Mike Apr 16 '20 at 13:28

Remove Following line from requirements.txt.

pkg-resources==0.0.0

To avoid having it in requirements.txt everytime you do a freeze, remove it from your virtual environment with pip uninstall pkg-resources==0.0.0

Remove pkg-resources==0.0.0 from requirements.txt

if you wish to avoid the problem next time you do a freeze, use pip uninstall pkg-resources==0.0.0

It appears Heroku CLI is using dependencies from a different local branch. If you are running:

$ git push origin master

to deploy your application on Heroku, ensure that locally you are switched to master branch.
