Python - Django - Heroku - ImportError - cannot import name 'fromshare' from 'socket&-CodePudding

I successfully deployed my app to heroku but now I am getting an error:

ImportError at /
cannot import name 'fromshare' from 'socket' (/app/.heroku/python/lib/python3.9/socket.py)

Looks like it traces back to:

File "/app/users/forms.py" in <module>
  1. from socket import fromshare

I have looked everywhere I can online and have not seen anyone run into this. Any idea how I would fix this?

CodePudding user response：

socket.fromshare() is only available on Windows. You won't be able to use it on Heroku since its dynos run Linux.

Without a lot more contect I can't recommend an alternative, but that's the root cause of your issue.

CodePudding user response：

Try removing from socket import fromshare from the file. Seeing how it's for a forms.py file, I don't think you need to import that module.
