Here is the code for the dollarbi11_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py file, which I copied from the project tutorial
# +++++++++++ DJANGO +++++++++++
import os
import sys
#
## assuming your django settings file is at '/home/yourname/mysite/mysite/settings.py'
## and your manage.py is is at '/home/yourname/mysite/manage.py'
path = '/home/DollarBi11/djangovet'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)
#
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'djangovet.settings'
#
## then:
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
Lines 26 to 29 of settings.py
KEYSDIR = str(BASE_DIR)+"/keys.json"
with open(KEYSDIR) as k:
project_keys = json.loads(k.read())
keys.json
{
"SECRET_KEY" = "XXXX"
}
It looks like the problem is in your keys.json file; you should use colons rather than equals signs to separate keys and values, so it should be this:
{
"SECRET_KEY": "XXXX"
}
