Django uwsgi import error

Question

I have a Django project with one app called subscribe. In root urls.py I use include from subscribe's urls.py.

I put to INSTALLED_APPS subscribe and in subscribe's urls.py I use subscribe.views.<name> for call my views. When server run as python manage.py runserver locally all works fine. But when server run on nginx+uwsgi with virtualenv, I've got ImportError: No module named subscribe. When I changing subscribe to project.subscribe in INSTALLED_APPS and in subscribe's urls.py changing subscribe.views.<name> to project.subscribe.views.<name> all works fine.

uwsgi config:

[uwsgi] 
socket = 127.0.0.1:9003 
workers = 2 
master = true 
virtualenv = /home/user/python 
chdir = /home/user 
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=project.settings 
module = django.core.handlers.wsgi:WSGIHandler()
daemonize = /home/user/uwsgi.log

Why should I use absolute path import and how I can change it to relative back on nginx+uwsgi with virtualenv?

Answer 1

Your uwsgi config should include pythonpath=/path/where/lives/settings.py/ directive, so python interpreter will know where to find your apps.
