file encoding

[spooky]

on windows, depending in cmd or powershell is used when generating requirements.txt by running

pip freeze > requirements.txt

sometimes leads to a situation where windows1250 encoding is used. that generates problems with heroku further on.

Interesting. What kind of problems does this create with Heroku?

[MattBlack85]

we had a similar problem with runtime.txt, file created with gedit didn't allow for a successful push to heroku, girls got error regarding python version not supported on the cedar. Changing the file with another one solved this issue

@MattBlack85 This particular problem is actually caused by windows line endings instead of unix ones. It can be fixed simply by only having one line in the file.
