python - Pipfile.lock out of date

Question

I'm trying to deploy a large django project to heroku. I installed Heroku CLI, logged in, created an app and ran:

git push heroku master

I have a Pipfile and requirements.txt already set up. I added a runtime.txt to specify that I need python 2.7. This is also in the Pipfile. This is what I get from pushing to heroku:

$ git push heroku master

error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.heroku.com/camp-infinity.git'

For some reason it tries to install python 3, and it also doesn't like my Pipfile.lock file. I've tried deleting it and generating it again with pipenv install but that didn't change anything.

Experienced the same problem while working on a project, in the branch you are pushing to Heroku, run

pipenv lock

and it will update the Pipfile.lock file. :)
