I have a flask app on bluemix. It worked perfectly. I changed some text in one of my htmls (shouldn't have anything to do with it).
Hadn't checked it for a while, but seems like it suddenly doesn't build (stops after restarting)

From the errors it seems to me like the error is not in my code, but in something happening in the back on bluemix.
Anyone that can help me figure out what is wrong?
I am using the standard bluemix python-flask boilerplate linked to my github from where I push my code.
EDIT: Answering the comment below, tried that. As soon as I made a change (add my requirements file) it gave the same error.
Requirements file:
Flask==0.10.1
requests
pygal
flask_googlemaps
pandas-highcharts==0.5.2
cloudant==2.0.0b2
It seems like the issue was the
pandas-highcharts==0.5.2
In the requirements file.
It appears to be related to the pandas-highcharts installing setuptools-21.0.0 dependency. As a result, setuptools-18.3.2 is uninstalled and removed as denoted in the logs:

Later the build complication fails because setuptools-18.3.2 can not be found.

I don't know specifically, after reviewing the related source code on Github, where the issue is caused.
The solution I went with is just removing it. Instead I used something else for plots
(in case anyone knows why, we can edit this to include the reason. Might be useful to know for future use).
