Having Trouble Getting Started on Heroku with Python

I am setting up a backend for my website with Heroku and Python. By doing so I am following Heroku's setup. But my problem arose at this step here.

when I try to run: python3 manage.py collectstatic

I get the following below:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 381, in execute_from_command_line
    utility.execute()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 375, in execute
    self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 316, in run_from_argv
    self.execute(*args, **cmd_options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 353, in execute
    output = self.handle(*args, **options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/collectstatic.py", line 188, in handle
    collected = self.collect()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/management/commands/collectstatic.py", line 105, in collect
    for path, storage in finder.list(self.ignore_patterns):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/finders.py", line 125, in list
    for path in utils.get_files(storage, ignore_patterns):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/staticfiles/utils.py", line 23, in get_files
    directories, files = storage.listdir(location)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/core/files/storage.py", line 313, in listdir
    for entry in os.listdir(path):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/aaronmiller/Development/python-getting-started/static'

I have tried the following the instructions step by step and always get stuck at the part above. With: 

    MacOS            10.14
    Python           2.7.15
    Python           3.7.2
    psql(PostgreSQL) 11.0 


    pip3 list
    Package         Version
    --------------- -------
    dj-database-url 0.5.0  
    Django          2.1.4  
    django-heroku   0.3.1  
    gunicorn        19.9.0 
    pip             18.1   
    psycopg2        2.7.6.1
    pytz            2018.7 
    setuptools      40.6.3 
    wheel           0.32.3 
    whitenoise      4.1.2  



    heroku pg:info
    === DATABASE_URL

    Fork/Follow:           Unsupported
    Rollback:              Unsupported
    Continuous Protection: Off

Let me know if there is any other info I can provide and I will.

Update

I stopped trying this with python 2 and then I took out the code below that I added to settings.py

# Extra places for collectstatic to find static files.
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

The django-heroku package requires Python 3, see the README file: https://github.com/heroku/django-heroku/blob/master/README.rst

edit: It seems you have python3 available on your system, so try just running the following:

python3 manage.py collectstatic

You'll need to re-install any dependencies you installed for python2 (presumably, using pip) for the python3 environment. Do you have pip3 available?
