ImportError when starting uwsgi application (flask)

Question

I have an app using Python3 and Flask and wanted to deploy it on uwsgi and nginx using a virtualenv.

# Brieffenster
location /projekte/brieffenster {
    include uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass unix:///tmp/brieffenster.sock;
}

and

[uwsgi]
plugin = python3

socket = /tmp/brieffenster.sock
chown-socket = www-data:www-data

chdir = /var/www/projekte/brieffenster
virtualenv = /var/www/projekte/brieffenster/.env
mount = /projekte/brieffenster=brieffenster.py
callable = app
manage-script-name = true

Running a HTTP GET on http://<SERVER_IP>/projekte/brieffenster/ returns 502 Bad Gateway.

When I launch it from the command line using

sudo uwsgi --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/brieffenster.ini

there is a stacktrace (seen below). I have already debugged this for some hours and I think I'm doing everything right.

Is there something I'm missing?

$ sudo uwsgi --ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/brieffenster.ini

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

UPDATE 1: Here is the application I am using. It is just a catchall that tells me which path was requested.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


from flask import Flask

__author__ = 'Jonas Gröger <jonas.groeger@gmail.com>'


app = Flask(__name__)
app.config.from_object(__name__)

@app.route('/', defaults={'path': ''})
@app.route('/<path:path>')
def catch_all(path):
    return 'You want path: %s' % path

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run('0.0.0.0')

I am using mount and manage-script-name because I plan on putting more Flask projects in /projekte/<folder_name>.

This is a generic application- there seems to be no need for different mountpoints and a specialized setup. Here's my uWSGI setup adapted to your settings (fill in missing parameters in brackets). I think you're just missing the module parameter. master=true will get rid of the warning you're getting.

uWSGI ini file:

[uwsgi]
module = [your flask app filename from update 1, WITHOUT '.py']
callable = app
master = true
processes = 5
socket = /tmp/brieffenster.sock
enable-threads = true
uid = www-data
gid = www-data
vacuum = true
venv = /var/www/projekte/brieffenster/.env
die-on-term = true

See if this works; if not- post the error message for further guidance.
