Using Peewee and PostgreSQL for deploying to Heroku

I'm trying to deploy the Social Network App to Heroku but Heroku only supports PostgreSQL. So I went to see the Docs:

http://peewee.readthedocs.org/en/latest/peewee/database.html#using-postgresql

I've been seing Postgres tutorials but they show that you need to install pip install psycopg2 to have the database up and running but here in the docs they are using something called playhouse.

Have anyone deployed the app to Heroku? I need some guides here. Thanks!

I did manage to deploy a Flask app with Peewee to Heroku. I have written a blog post on it: http://swifthorseman.com/2015/06/18/deploying-a-flask-app-with-peewee-to-heroku/
