Pip cannot find the requirement for `virtualenv==1.8.4.post1`. You either need to change that to `1.8.4` (the current version). Typically, however, `virtualenv` isn't put in the requirements at all - unless the functions of your app relies on it. — Dan Hoerst, Jan 24 '13 at 02:34
Please post the file structure of your project, including your root folder and where your `.git` repo folder is located. — Dan Hoerst, Jan 24 '13 at 02:55
Not sure if I'm doing this right but here it goes. Root: .git, hellodjango, venv, .gitignore, manage.py, Procfile.txt, requirements.txt. — EatPizzaRollsAndCode, Jan 24 '13 at 03:00
Edit the original thread so that you can show the file and folder structure. Similar to this post (Just a random post with file structure for reference): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12398460/django-app-file-structure — Dan Hoerst, Jan 24 '13 at 03:02
Actually, to make it a lot easier I'll just give you the github link: https://github.com/catvalentine/hellodjango — EatPizzaRollsAndCode, Jan 24 '13 at 03:03
Your file structure looks good. Can you run `heroku logs` from your project root and edit your original post with the log results. — Dan Hoerst, Jan 24 '13 at 03:10
I was working with rails and I decided to try django to see which one I liked more. Could rails be interfering with django? — EatPizzaRollsAndCode, Jan 24 '13 at 03:17
Added my answer. I'm assuming you did not `git add .` and `git commit` after removing the virtualenv from your requirements. — Dan Hoerst, Jan 24 '13 at 03:24

I was able to get this running by:

cloning your git repo
removing the virtualenv==1.8.4 from your requirements.txt
git add .
git commit -m "removing virtualenv requirement"
git push heroku master

I'm assuming you did not git add . and git commit after removing the virtualenv from your requirements. Any changes you make to a git repo will not go in effect, for both github and heroku, until you add and then commit the changes locally, and finally push them to remote repository i.e. Github or Heroku.

The error message indicates that it can't find virtualenv==1.8.4.post1 and when I try that command locally, I get the same error. It doesn't look like that version exists at pypi. Try changing your requirements.txt to virtualenv==1.8.4?

For the heroku deployment you do not need the virtualenv==1.8.4.post1 in the requirement.txt file, please remove that and place the procfile and requirements in the root of git.
