I keep getting the error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'environ' in my settings.py file". I have installed the dependency in my python shell

Question

I keep getting an import error on environ in my settings.py file, I have it installed via poetry in my .venv file as well. Could this be an error outside the settings file possibly?

`
import environ

env = environ.Env(
    DEBUG=(bool, False),
    ENVIORNMENT=(str, 'PRODUCTION'),
)

environ.Env.read_env()

ENVIRONMENT= env.str('ENVIRONMENT')


SECRET_KEY = env.str('SECRET_KEY')

DEBUG = env.bool('DEBUG')

ALLOWED_HOSTS = tuple(env.list('ALLOWED_HOSTS'))

`

Answer 1

Make sure that you are using the desired python interpreter, that your virtualenv is setup correctly, and that the desired django-environ is installed within that virtualenv via

(inside venv) pip install django-environ

Answer 2

The problem could occur due to the following reasons:

1. You are using. Virtual environment, but you installed module outside the virtual environment.
2. You haven't added 'environ', in your your settings.py file in INSTALLED_APPS.(based on its reference exceptionally not required for this package!)
