So I began to code a project with python, and I was using a tutorial that told me to use a pip environment as my virtual environment. A problem arose, however, when I performed the git push heroku master command. It could not find the package django-heroku!

I was confused, because when I ran python manage.py runserver, the server on my computer ran. I then changed to a python environment, which was located in the directory I was pushing to heroku. The problem was solved! The virtual environment, and consequently the installed packages, were inside the directory being pushed to git, and I could use them in my website!

But the question still remains: can you use a pip environment for a django project being pushed to git? Thanks!

You should not include python packages within your repo and push them to Heroku. Check https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python-pip. You only need a requirements.txt file in your root directory. Heroku will install the packages automatically for you.

There is no problem to use git in virtual environments of python, git works exactly the same way; the only constraint, if you want call it in that way, is that the vir-env must be activated to make any operation (commit, push, fetch, etc.) with git.
