django collectstatic output no module error

I'm trying to run this command

sudo python manage.py collectstatic

This error appears:

Error: No module named cities

So I did a check:

prompt> python
Python 2.6....
>>>> import cities
>>>> cities
<module 'cities' from '/sites/.virtualenvs/myproject/src/django-cities/cities/__init__.pyc'>

Then it seems like I have the cities module there, but it gives me an error. Any pointers on how I can solve this? It works on my development machine (mac). I'm trying to deploy on my EC2 (running on ubuntu)

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Cheers, Mickey

Try running the python interpreter specific to your virtualenv:

sudo /sites/.virtualenvs/myproject/bin/python manage.py collectstatic

This assumes you need to run the server with sudo. A better way would be to run it under user space and proxy it via apache/mod_wsgi or nginx.
