django, pyenv, uwsgi - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django'
I have the following vassal configuration in /etc/uwsgi/vassals/gsd.ini:
[uwsgi]
plugins = python
env = DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%n.settings
virtualenv = /home/toogy/.pyenv/versions/%n
chdir = /home/webapps/%n
module = %n.wsgi:application
master = true
vacuum = true
pidfile = /tmp/uwsgi-%n.pid
socket = /tmp/uwsgi-%n.sock
daemonize = /var/log/uwsgi/%n.log
chmod-socket = 666
uid = toogy
gid = toogy
Here is the uwsgi log I get

It cannot find django and I have no idea why because uwsgi seems to detect the python environment (in which django is installed).
Also, it says Python version: 3.6.0 while my virtualenv Python version is 3.5.2. I don't know if this is supposed to happen. The system Python version is 3.6.0.
I am using the last versions of the uwsgi and uwsgi-plugins-python Arch Linux official packages.
Answer
The problem was that the system-wide python version linked to uwsgi needs to be the same as the one of the virtualenv, which, I think, is a very stupid thing.
EDIT April 2021: I now recommend using gunicorn, which does not have this problem
