So, I have python 2.7.3 installed and I used the Django website https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/ to install Django on my Mac OS x Mountain Lion. I used pip and virtual env, I currently am able to use Django from my current terminal but, when I open a new terminal and try say:
$ cd Django
$ cd djangowork
$ cd firstproj
$ python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management
This is the error I get.
I have looked online for a solution to my problem. It seems to be a common problem, dealing with the PATH. But, I cannot figure out how to fix it. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
This is an example of what my working terminal looks like: (but if I exit out I lose everything)
(my_new_env)$ cd Django
(my_new_env)$ cd djangowork
(my_new_env)$ cd firstproj
(my_new_env)$ ls
firstproj manage.py testdb
(my_new_env)$ python manage.py runserver

Notice how in the second case you have (my_new_env) before the prompt, but not in the first? That's because only in the second case have you run virtual env properly. Make sure you run source my_new_env/bin/activate before you run any python commands at the prompt. You should always have (my_new_env) before the prompt in order to make sure your environment is set up properly. You have to do this in every terminal window that you open.

Everytime I try to run the app, or migrate my database, it throws this error. My IDE, although, helps me run the app because the configurations seem to be correct but bash fails to run any of the Django commands.
This is the error that I get:
File "/Users/angy/settings/projname_conf/settings.py", line 1, in <module>
from pyup.generic_settings import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyup'
I don't know pyup, but that's what i found:
To install pyup, run:
$ pip install pyupio
https://github.com/pyupio/pyup
I have created a conda environment by typing the following conda create --name testenv python command from here.
Now one of my tutorials tells me to install Django which I happily did in the environment(That is the point of using environments right?, keeping dependencies straight) using pip3 install django.Post which I was told to do this django-admin startproject mysite Which didn't work. I am thinking because he was doing it in venv and I am in conda probably that's why(There is no venv folder in my test-app folder as well. Also I have already activated the environment). Every time I type the command django-admin startapp mysite I get this error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/django-admin", line 18, in <module>
from django.core import management
ImportError: No module named 'django'
How do I fix this? I have already installed Django. What more am I supposed to do?
This question is old, but if anyone is wondering the exact steps to create a Django application using conda, here it is
conda create -n <nameoftheapplication> python=3.6
source activate <nameoftheapplication> Note: For Windows just put activate
pip install django
django-admin.py startproject <nameoftheapplication>
cd <nameoftheapplication>
ls
You should see manage.py and a folder called <nameoftheapplication> which contains settings files.
Firstly, open the anaconda prompt in windows then go to the project directory and enter the following command:
conda create -n python=3.6 anaconda
activate
pip install django
django-admin.py startproject
cd
python manage.py runserver
Then open web browser and enter the http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see django page.
Hello I recently installed the django on my Mac OS X 10.9 using the pip install Django.
The installation was successful, now my python3.3.3 is installed in the following directory:
/usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages
Inside this directory there is a directory for django so I am assuming that the installation was success on python 3.
The problem arise when I am trying the following procedure:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
The above command creates with success the directory with the files
Then on this command:
python manage.py runserver
or
python3 manage.py runserver
The error is:
File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'django'
Moreover, I do find a solution but wont work. Was to change the first comment of the file django-admin.py to link the compiler to the correct version of python, which was fine, but the problem is the same.
Any help?
Check out this tutorial on python development on OSX: http://hackercodex.com/guide/python-development-environment-on-mac-osx/
Virtualenv allows you to create sandboxes where you can install different python versions and python libraries without interfering with other virtual environments or with your system python version/libraries.
Your specific problem though, seems to be that Django was not added to your system path, so python doesn't know where to find the django files. It can be risky to add new things to your system path because it could end up conflicting with existing libraries.
If you use virtualenv, each environment will have its own "system" path and the python executable in that environment will know where to find the django files.
I developed a django application locally, in a git repo. I launched an EC2 instance for the project and I set up a virtualenv with (what I believe to be) the correct packages/dependencies. I then proceeded to clone my repo into the virtualenv. Right now, I'm having difficulty as I'm receiving the following errors:
I attempted to use python manage.py runserver example.com/8080 to test. I was sure to activate the virtualenv using source bin/activate, just like I did in my local virtualenv. When I call ... runserver I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks for the help.
Looks like you're environment can't find Django, even though it's clearly in your pip freeze.
Try opening a Python (not Django) shell from your virtual environment and entering:
import django
django.VERSION
If you run into the same error, there's probably an issue with your Django install. Your virtual environment probably can't find it. You could try modifying the path settings, or just reinstall Django.
If you can successfully import Django, or if you tried reinstalling and it doesn't work, you may have a permission problem. Ensure that the user responsible for running the server has access to wherever your python libraries are stored from the virtualenv.
I had pretty much the exact same problem as you and this is how I solved it (Disclaimer: I'm not sure if this is the absolute correct way but it worked for me and everything seems correct).
Short Answer:
Try pip install (package) instead of sudo pip install (package)
Long Answer:
I gave the Django complete install doc (See here) a quick read through and came across a bit that basically said you dont need super user privileges when using pip in the virtualenv. I just assumed that either would be fine but I now realize that's probably not the case.
I suspect that because I entered sudo pip install django it installed it somewhere above my local bin in my virtualenv for the project. I suspect this because when I enter python manage.py runserver I get an error; however, when I enter sudo python manage.py runserver everything functions properly.
Also, typing sudo pip freeze reveals my larger library whereas pip freeze reveals my local library for my virtualenv.
I didn't want to type sudo (do stuff) before everything and I wanted a nice, clean and proper virtualenv so I just reinstalled django but to my local virtual env with pip install django and now django is in the proper virtualenv library, pip freeze returns the proper contents, and python manage.py runserver functions properly!
django-admin.py startproject by default creates the shebang in manage.py with #!/usr/bin/env python.
If this is not the path to your python executable, or if you use python3, just edit the manage.py to reflect this.
Reinstall all python packages angain after you have activated your virtualenv.
Maybe the Django has lost some plugin with pip, so we can install Django with Tarball:
Go https://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.6.5/tarball/
Download Django-*.tar.gz
install it.
$ tar zxvf Django-1.6.5.tar.gz
$ cd Django-1.6.5/
$ python setup.py install

I have recently become accustomed to doing the following in my django projects so that I can test bowser compatibility on various OS (i.e. non-linux):
$ sudo ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
This allows me to access the project through any machine on the network.
However, I just setup a new machine and this command issues the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management
I understand that django is having trouble finding the module, what I don't understand is that plain old:
$ sudo ./manage.py runserver
Runs fine. All I am doing here is changing the port, surely? And, of course, it worked fine in the past.
N.B.
1. I am using Django 1.4
2. I have tried within a virtualenv and on system and I get the same result.
3. I do not have django installed system wide (just in virtualenvs)
Any help would be much appreciated.
I guess the sudo command will run the process in the superuser context, and the superuser context lack virtualenv settings.
You may try to call the python binary at your virtualenv explicitly, for example:
sudo $(which python) manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
Make a shell script to set the virtualenv and call manage.py runserver, then sudo this script instead.
#!/bin/bash
source /home/darwin/.virtualenvs/foo/bin/activate
cd /path/to/project/foo
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
Replace /home/darwin/.virtualenvs/foo with the root of your actual virtualenv and /path/to/project/foo with the root of your project.
Here's another solution, instead of creating shell script, just specify which python executable you want to use in the command:
Assuming that your virtualenv container is called .virtualenvs and there's an env called myproject in it, this is command you have to write:
$ sudo ~/.virtualenvs/myproject/bin/python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
Building upon #Paulo_Scardine's anwser:
If you want to keep your virtualenv environment variables, you can add the -E option to the sudo command:
sudo -E $(which python) manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80
Here's another solution, instead of creating shell script, just specify which python executable you want to use in the command:
Assuming that your virtualenv container is called venv in your project home directory, this is command you have to write:
sudo /home/mahome/PycharmProjects/sampleproject/venv/bin/python manage.py runserver 127.0.1.1:80
Run
manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
ie. run the server in different port and not the default port 80
while accessing the url use the port number
