My application was working last night, not sure why it won't work this morning. I think that all I did was to create an app called django
to store my models, tests, and views.
Getting this error, running django with the Heroku Postgres application on OS X and dj_database as middleware:
File "/Users/{ME}/Projects/{PROJECT}/{PROJECT}/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/servers/basehttp.py", line 58, in get_internal_wsgi_application
"could not import module '%s': %s" % (app_path, module_name, e)) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application
'{PROJECT}.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; could not import module
'{PROJECT}.wsgi': No module named core.wsgi
Relevant part of my wsgi.py
file:
"""
WSGI config for {PROJECT} project.
This module contains the WSGI application used by Django's development
server and any production WSGI deployments. It should expose a
module-level variable named ``application``. Django's ``runserver``
and ``runfcgi`` commands discover this application via the
``WSGI_APPLICATION`` setting.
Usually you will have the standard Django WSGI application here, but
it also might make sense to replace the whole Django WSGI application
with a custom one that later delegates to the Django one. For example,
you could introduce WSGI middleware here, or combine a Django
application with an application of another framework.
"""
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "do.settings")

# setting points here.
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
# Apply WSGI middleware here.
# from helloworld.wsgi import HelloWorldApplication

Creating an app called django
means that any from django import X
is going to be looking at your app, not at the django
framework.
In this case, the software is trying to import django.core.wsgi
, but it's now looking for this file in your app's code, where it's nowhere to be found; hence the error: No module named core.wsgi
Give your app another name.
You'll have to rename the folder that contains your app, and the INSTALLED_APPS
entry in settings.py
.
