Why am I receiveing 'no module named wagtail' error when I try to launch django app

I have an existing Django Project. I would like to use Wagtail with it. I have followed the instructions here: http://docs.wagtail.io/en/v1.9/getting_started/integrating_into_django.html

However when I try to launch my app, I receive the following error message from uWSGI:-

    *** Operational MODE: preforking ***
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./core/wsgi.py", line 16, in <module>
        application = get_wsgi_application()
      File "/opt/django/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/wsgi.py", line 13, in get_wsgi_application
        django.setup()
      File "/opt/django/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 18, in setup
        apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS)
      File "/opt/django/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django
/apps/registry.py", line 85, in populate
        app_config = AppConfig.create(entry)
      File "/opt/django/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 116, in create
        mod = import_module(mod_path)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/importlib/__init__.py", line 37, in import_module
        __import__(name)
    ImportError: No module named wagtail
    unable to load app 0 (mountpoint='') (callable not found or import error)

ImportError: No module named wagtail

However I have installed wagtail.

What do you get if you enter the following lines at the python command line?

import wagtail; wagtail import wagtail.wagtailadmin; wagtail.wagtailadmin import wagtail.wagtailforms; wagtail.wagtailforms

Here is the result when I run those commands in python: 

Python 2.7.3 (default, Mar 13 2014, 11:03:55)
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wagtail; wagtail
<module 'wagtail' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wagtail/__init__.pyc'>
>>> import wagtail.wagtailadmin; wagtail.wagtailadmin
<module 'wagtail.wagtailadmin' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wagtail/wagtailadmin/__init__.pyc'>
>>> import wagtail.wagtailforms; wagtail.wagtailforms
<module 'wagtail.wagtailforms' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wagtail/wagtailforms/__init__.pyc'>

Why am I receiving the 'no module named wagtail' error?

I had the same problem when trying to run python manage.py migrate but I had an older version of python installed and then I installed 3 so I used the same command like this python3 manage.py migrate

It seems that you have two python 2.7 installed, perhaps a built in one, and a manually installed one. The one that shows the import error uses the python located at:

/usr/lib/python2.7/

While the one you had the module installed was located here:

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/

You will need to either install wagtail to the first python or change the Django Project to use the second python.
