I have a geospatial python app that I want to use on Heroku.

This is my requirements.txt file:

Flask==0.10.1
Jinja2==2.7.2
MarkupSafe==0.19
Werkzeug==0.9.4
gunicorn==18.0
itsdangerous==0.23
numpy==1.8.0
requests==2.2.1
wsgiref==0.1.2

I want to use the heroku-buildpack-geodjango to install Python GDAL. I create and do a git push.

heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/dulaccc/heroku-buildpack-geodjango/

git push heroku master

This all works fine. However the app crashes because it doesn't find GDAL.

These are my logs:

$ heroku logs
...
2014-03-23T18:57:08.224720+00:00 app[web.1]: ImportError: No module named osgeo

How do I set up GDAL in order to work properly?

  • Have you tried contacting the Heroku support? I don't know if GDAL is something they have installed on their platform but they could probably help you figure it out.

  • Does it matter that the build pack is for django and you are using flask?
