Dash File Launch Error After Heroku Installation - Dateutil mismatch

Dash Python

Hi,

I can’t start my Dash app like I normally do. It throws me this error:

I installed Heroku today. Does that have something to do with this error?

I discovered what the issue was. Heroku requires a python-dateutil == 1.5

pandas 0.24.1 has requirement python-dateutil>=2.5.0, but you'll have python-dateutil 1.5 which is incompatible.

matplotlib 3.0.2 has requirement python-dateutil>=2.1, but you'll have python-dateutil 1.5 which is incompatible.

jupyter-client 5.2.4 has requirement python-dateutil>=2.1, but you'll have python-dateutil 1.5 which is incompatible.

bokeh 1.0.2 has requirement python-dateutil>=2.1, but you'll have python-dateutil 1.5 which is incompatible.

anaconda-client 1.7.2 has requirement python-dateutil>=2.6.1, but you'll have python-dateutil 1.5 which is incompatible.

I’m assuming that dash also has a specific python-dateutil requirement but I’m not sure what it is.

@mdylan2 What did you end up doing? I have run into the same error where heroku requires python-dateutil == 1.5 but pandas requires python-dateutil >= 2.7.3. Were you able to deploy from heroku?
