Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pkg-resources==0.0.0

Question:

My app is deployed on heroku.

When I push my code via git push heroku master. It gives me this error

Collecting pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14))
remote:          Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14)) (from versions: )
remote:        No matching distribution found for pkg-resources==0.0.0 (from -r requirements.txt (line 14))

To avoid having it in requirements.txt everytime you do a freeze, remove it from your virtual environment with pip uninstall pkg-resources==0.0.0

It appears Heroku CLI is using dependencies from a different local branch.
If you are running:

$ git push origin master

to deploy your application on Heroku, ensure that locally you are switched to master branch.

Remove pkg-resources==0.0.0 from requirements.txt

if you wish to avoid the problem next time you do a freeze, use pip uninstall pkg-resources==0.0.0
