Heroku Django Gunicorn 'Foreman Start' Error

Question

I am working on a tutorial on Heroku Django and I have completely reached the point of Using a different WSIG server .

When I try to use gunicorn, I get the following error:

requirements.txt Django==1.4.1 distribute==0.6.28 dj-database-url==0.2.1 psycopg2==2.4.5 gunicorn==0.14.6 Procfile web: gunicorn djtut.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:$PORT (venv) C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Python\djtut>foreman check valid procfile detected (web) (venv) C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Python\djtut>foreman start 10:53:05 web.1 | started with pid 5652 10:53:06 web.1 | exited with code 1 10:53:06 web.1 | Traceback (most recent call last): 10:53:06 system | sending SIGKILL to all processes 10:53:06 | File "C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Python\djtut\venv\Scripts\ gunicorn-script.py", line 9, in <module> (venv) C:\Users\xxxxx\Documents\Python\djtut> 

Works well using dev server on Heroku. I'm on Windows 7. Any ideas? I suspect this is an OS problem?

thanks,

Unfortunately, Gunicorn does not work on Windows.
