I am trying to deploy my django application on the pythonanywhere. I have install all the packages that requires for the application. I am also using django_select2 reusable app in my application.
Firstly, i activate virtual environment and install the django_select2 by this command :
$ pip install django_select2
When i execute below command
$ pip freeze
cryptography==2.2.2
Django==2.0.7
django-appconf==1.0.2
django-select2==6.1.0
Flask==1.0.2
Flask-JWT==0.3.2
Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.3.2
furl==1.2
idna==2.7
As you see django_select2 is also in the installed list. I also check site-packages inside my virual environment. There is also django_select2 folder.
However when i run my app it generates the ImportError: No module named 'django_select2' inside my error.log
Here is the part of my error.log
2018-07-14 14:18:53,934: Error running WSGI application

Any suggestions? What i have missing?
The problem is application is not using virtual environment in this case. If we look at the below line we will see /usr/local/... . So the application is using pythonanywhere.com default environment.
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/django/core/wsgi.py", line 13,
which means whatever we install in our virtualenv has no effect on default server. In pythonanywhere.com there is virtualenv menu, be sure if you input correct path info in this menu.
