I've run sudo pip install psycopg2
successfully from my virtualenv
on my ubuntu server.
This is the code I'm trying to run:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = "postgresql://USERNAME:PASSWORD@localhost/mydb"
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
app.debug = True
class User(db.Model):
__tablename__ = 'users'
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key = True)
name = db.Column(db.String(100))
@app.route('/users/', methods = ['GET'])
def users():
query = "SELECT id, name FROM users"
results = User.query.from_statement(query).all()
json_results = []
for result in results:
d = {'id' : result.id,
'name' : result.name}
json_results.append(d)
res = jsonify(items=json_results)
res.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
return res
however, when running uWSGI with this file like this :uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:8080 --wsgi-file my_app.py --callable app --processes 4 --threads 2 --stats 127.0.0.1:9191
, and call on it with SERVER_URL/users/
, I get the following error:

import psycopg2
ImportError: No module named psycopg2
[pid: 10902|app: 0|req: 3/3] 74.108.216.27 () {40 vars in 708 bytes} [Sun May 18 01:46:00 2014] GET /users/ => generated 0 bytes in 13 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 0 headers in 0 bytes (0 switches on core 0)
The problem is that you installed psycopg2 as a superuser, i.e. using 'sudo'. When you run commands as a super user, the command gets executed in a different shell that has the superuser's environment, and as a result the package will be installed in a different location in the filesystem that may not be accessible to your 'normal' environment. You need to install the package again as a regular user, i.e. without the leading 'sudo' in order to use the package. In short, just run:
pip install psycopg2
