Scaprer stopped working due to python version?

[eccoilmoro]

Hi all, my scraper stopped working 15 day ago :
“Requested runtime (python-2.7.6) is not available for this stack (cedar-14)”.

Tryed to specify different runtimes but error remains…, Requested runtime always not available, any version.
How can i figure out?

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. And it’s not even in the documentation that you need to specify a python version in runtime.txt.

The error message says that all python versions from this link should work:

Heroku Python Support | Heroku Dev Center

But none of them work. I think this projekt is simply dead and no one cared to tell us

I’m Ben and I lead the OpenAustralia Foundation - the charity behind Morph. I understand this post is quite old, and I hope you don’t mind the very late reply.

Morph is not dead, but I agree it hasn’t been given the love it deserves.

We primarily use Morph with Ruby scrapers, and Python support has fallen behind due to limited resources. Getting Python working properly involves an OS upgrade and significant code changes – it’s real work.

That said, Morph is open source and we’d welcome contributions:

• GitHub - openaustralia/morph: Take the hassle out of web scraping · GitHub
• GitHub - openaustralia/buildstep: Buildstep uses Docker and Buildpacks to build applications like Heroku · GitHub

There’s a bit more of a technical discussion around the issues here.

If you’d like to support the work financially:

If you represent an organisation that could provide ongoing funding, feel free to reach out to me directly and we can discuss further.
