Django requirements.txt pip for mdbtools

I'm trying to use mdbtools in a django app I have. I've included the following two lines in my requirements.txt file:

mdbtools-dev
mdbtools

but am running into some errors:

....
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): stripe in ./lib/python2.7/site-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 7))
Downloading/unpacking mdbtools-dev (from -r requirements.txt (line 8))
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement mdbtools-dev (from -r requirements.txt (line 8))
No distributions at all found for mdbtools-dev (from -r requirements.txt (line 8))
Storing complete log in /app/.pip/pip.log

! Heroku push rejected, failed to compile Python app

I sudo apt-get install both mdbtools and mdbtools-dev without a problem. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

requirements.txt file is not for general system requirements - it is only for Python libraries that are necessary for your application.

Since there is no Python package called mdbtools, you are getting that error.
