uWSGI + Django + Python: no module named uwsgi

Question

I am trying to setup uwsgi for my Django project. It runs fine with

./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:9010

But when I try

 uwsgi --http :9010 --chdir /home/user/appname --module wsgi --wsgi-file /home/user/appname/appname/wsgi.py 

I get

ImportError: No module named wsgi

What I am doing wrong ?

Here is the full log:

The issue is that your app does not have a module named uwsgi. You change the directory to /home/user/appname but it looks like the actual module would be appname.uwsgi since the uwsgi.py file lives within /home/user/appname/appname/uwsgi.py.

Typically though, you don't need to specify both --wsgi-file and --module so I would either do

uwsgi --http :9010 --chdir /home/user/appname --wsgi-file /home/user/appname/appname/wsgi.py

or

uwsgi --http :9010 --chdir /home/user/appname --module appname.uwsgi

I personally prefer the second.
