I am struggling to deploy my Django project (Django 3.1) on Heroku due to an incompatible build-pack-CodePudding

My first attempt was to just push to heroku without setting a default language manually:

(myenv) ➜  quotatev3 git:(main) heroku create quotatev3                           
 ›   Warning: heroku update available from 7.56.1 to 7.59.0.
Creating ⬢ quotatev3... done

remote:

 ! [remote rejected] main -> main (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/quotatev3.git'

So after setting it manually I am getting an error on how my app is incompatible with the build-pack.

 (myenv) ➜  quotatev3 git:(main) heroku create quotatev3 --buildpack heroku/python

I am unsure if this is because my python version is out of date (using python 3.9.5) or if there is an error elsewhere. Thank you for your help!!

Make sure you have requirements.txt in the root folder of your repository.
