Cannot import name _uuid_generate_random in heroku django

Question

I am working on a project which scans user gmail inbox and provides a report. I have deployed it in heroku with following specs:

Language: Python 2.7

Framework: Django 1.8

Task scheduler: Celery (Rabbitmq-bigwig for broker url)

Now when heroku execute it the celery is not giving me the output. On Heroku push its showing Collectstatic configuration error. I have tried using whitenoise package

Also tried executing: heroku run python manage.py collectstatic --dry-run --noinput Still getting the same error.

$ heroku run python manage.py collectstatic --noinput gave the following details of the error.

File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 48, in __getattr__ self._setup(name) File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 44, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 92, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module __import__(name) File "/app/salesblocker/__init__.py", line 5, in <module> from .celery import app as celery_app  File "/app/salesblocker/celery.py", line 5, in <module> from celery import Celery File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/celery/__init__.py", line 131, in <module> from celery import five  # noqa File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/celery/five.py", line 153, in <module> from kombu.utils.compat import OrderedDict  # noqa File "/app/.heroku/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/kombu/utils/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> from uuid import UUID, uuid4 as _uuid4, _uuid_generate_random ImportError: cannot import name _uuid_generate_random 

I have also tried to rollback heroku commit to previous working commit and cloned that code but on the next commit(changes:removed a media image from the media folder) its showing the same error again.

Thanks in advance

You are coming across this issue, which affects Python 2.7.11 (Kombu is required by Celery).

The issue is fixed in Kombu 3.0.30.
