ImportError: No module named flask; only when running from uWSGI

As the title says, I can run this simple python/flask app via the terminal just fine:

$ python /srv/www/cc/hello.py
 * Running on http://0.0.0.0:8080/

But when I use uwsgi I get the below in my log file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/srv/www/cc/hello.py", line 1, in <module>
    from flask import Flask
ImportError: No module named flask

Other threads on here point to a potential version difference with python being the culprit, but I have verified that everything is using the same version via the below: 

$ python -c 'import sys; print sys.version'
2.7.6

And in my emperor.log and cc_uwsgi.log files see Python version: 2.7.6

Anyone have any other ideas?

Edit: I can even see the right path to flask in my python path... as well as import it just fine.

$ python -c 'import sys; print sys.path'
[..., '/home/ccadmin/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages', ...]
$ python -d 'from flask import Flask'
$

Turns out it was as simple as declaring the path to the site-packages in my uwsgi.ini config, even though it was already showing in my path. Not sure why it was needed again, but it was:

[uwsgi]
pythonpath = /home/ccadmin/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

Usually and import error like this is attributed to the PYTHONPATH not being set correctly. Can you set your PYTHONPATH env variable to point to the correct location and try.
