django on heroku: ImportError: cannot import name get_path_info [duplicate]

Question

I don't run into any problems running my django app locally, but for some reason on heroku I get the error ImportError: cannot import name get_path_info and have no idea how to fix this.

Here are my heroku logs:

    2014-07-07 18:45:45 [18423] [INFO] Starting gunicorn 0.13.4
    2014-07-07 18:45:45 [18424] [ERROR] Exception in worker process:

My procfile:

web: gunicorn app.wsgi

and my app/wsgi.py file:

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from dj_static import Cling
application = Cling(get_wsgi_application())

Try setting dj-static==0.0.6 in your Virtualenv requirements.txt file. The Heroku Django tutorial currently shows 0.0.5. You might be running 0.0.6 locally but not in Heroku.

I've reported this issue to Heroku and their tutorial is now updated to reflect newer versions in the requirements.txt.
