I am trying to deploy my mezzanine project on heroku. The last error gives me an ultimate stack- ImportError: cannot import name ManifestStaticFilesStorage. Here is my core project structure:

wsgi.py:

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise

application = get_wsgi_application()
application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application)

Procfile:

web: gunicorn wsgi

Traceback from heroku-logs:

ImportError: cannot import name ManifestStaticFilesStorage

Most confusing is the ImportError: cannot import name ManifestStaticFilesStorage error.

ManifestStaticFilesStorage was introduced in Django 1.7. Are you using an older version of Django? If so, you should upgrade to a supported version.

It's still possible to use WhiteNoise 2.0.6 with older versions of Django, but this is not supported by either me or the Django team.
