ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gunicorn'

I followed a [DigitalOcean guide]((https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-debian-10) to set up my Django site. It usually works fine but lately I keep running into this.

root@localhost:/usr/bin# sudo systemctl status gunicorn
Jun 13 21:27:43 localhost systemd[1]: Started gunicorn daemon.
Jun 13 21:27:43 localhost gunicorn[20611]: Traceback (most recent call last):

I had the exact same problem and was going quite mad but here is what fixed it :

I guess systemd executes with sudo, but I did the pip install blabla without being in sudo. Found out by doing sudo gunicorn --version and getting nothing.

So just doing sudo pip install gunicorn solved it for me !

Disclaimer : I am probably doing something not at all in the "best practices" so don't hesitate to correct me or give a more detailed response than mine : First time answering :D
