heroku: no default language could be detected for this app
<p>First time using Heroku. Trying to push. I have run the command:</p>

<p><code>heroku create --buildpack heroku/pyhon</code> and it displayed</p>

<p><code>$ heroku create --buildpack heroku/python
Creating app... done, glacial-reef-7599

<p>I've gotta be missing something.</p>

<p>I have added a <code>requirements.txt</code> to my root directory. It looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>.git
.idea
projectapp
projectname
rango
db.sqlite3
manage.py
populate_rango.py
requirements.txt
</code></pre>

<p>You need to create a runtime.txt file. On the command line, in the same folder as your requirements.txt file, enter <code>echo "python-3.5.1" &gt; runtime.txt</code>. Of course, make sure to switch the 3.5.1 with whichever version of Python you are using.</p>
