    You should install pscopg2-binary and the push to heroku

    pip install psycopg2-binary or pipenv install psycopg2-binary depending on your virtualenv

    I was able to fix the same issue by installing the Psycopg2 pre-requisites using the following commands on Debian.

    pip install python3-dev
sudo apt install libpq-dev libpq-dev

    Then confirming pg_config is in my path by doing pg_config --version.

    For reference, here’s the relevant section from the docs.

    Build prerequisites

    The build prerequisites are to be met in order to install Psycopg from source code, from a source distribution package, GitHub or from PyPI.

    Psycopg is a C wrapper around the libpq PostgreSQL client library. To install it from sources you will need:

    • A C compiler.

    • The Python header files. They are usually installed in a package such as python-dev or python3-dev. A message such as error: Python.h: No such file or directory is an indication that the Python headers are missing.

    • The libpq header files. They are usually installed in a package such as libpq-dev. If you get an error: libpq-fe.h: No such file or directory you are missing them.

    • The pg_config program: it is usually installed by the libpq-dev package but sometimes it is not in a PATH directory. Having it in the PATH greatly streamlines the installation, so try running pg_config –version: if it returns an error or an unexpected version number then locate the directory containing the pg_config shipped with the right libpq version (usually /usr/lib/postgresql/X.Y/bin/) and add it to the PATH:

      $ export PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/X.Y/bin/:$PATH

      You only need pg_config to compile psycopg2, not for its regular usage.
