Django:No module named django.core.management

I am a Django newbie and want to explore the power of this famous framework.

After all setups I ran

sudo python manage.py syncdb,

and I get this 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 use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, and I activated my working virtualenv by issuing a workon command.

Also, when I ran which python, I got this:

/home/myname/Envs/EnvName/bin/python,

and pip freeze| grep - django returns:

Django==1.5.4
django-toolbelt==0.0.1

The first line of my manage.py is #!/usr/bin/env python.

Also

python2.7 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"

gives

/home/myname/Envs/EnvName/lib/python2.7/site-packages

and in this directory, I do see a folder named django.

So I guess I am really stuck, anyone please?

system.

Maybe you already fix it out. But I post this for later fellows.

try:

which python sudo which python

after you see the different. you are able to do:(with you env activated: source activate)

sudo `which python` manage.py shell

hope helps

cheers

This first line its probably making it use your python from /usr/bin/env.

You could try two things in this case:

1) If you didn't already, you should activate your virtualenv and then install Django:

source /home/myname/Envs/EnvName/bin/activate
pip install django

2) Remove first line of manage.py which I don't thing would be a problem since you are using python manage.py ..., unless you didn't activated your virtualenv before.

UPDATE:

There is really nothing more that what it's saying. Python couldn't find django, so you just need to activate (which I think you already did) and pip install django.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Your problem its actually simpler to solve. You are trying sudo python manage.py syncdb and when you do using sudo you are not accessing python from virtualenv, so just remove sudo and everything should run.
