[Solved]-Running django in virtualenv – ImportError: No module named django.core.management?

25👍

If you already activated your virtualenv (source /path/bin/activate) then check if you have installed Django.

pip install django

With next command you can see if Django was installed.

pip freeze | grep django

Another thing that you can try is to remove first line (#!/usr/bin/env python) in the manage.py file.

You should check if django is installed
Activate your environment, then run the following command to see which version is installed :

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

I am using virtual environment so I added this line in manage.py:

sys.path.append('./myvenv/lib/python3.5/site-packages')

in which myvenv is the name of my virtual environment and version of my installed Python is 3.5.
This solved my issued.

I found that I had Python 3.4 and 2.7 installed concurrently, and the pip install django==1.7 command automagically decided the Python 3.4 /dist-packages was where it should live. I CD’d over to the Python 2.7 directory and re-piped it… and all is well.

I had the same problem when I was running Django from inside a virtual environment and then using another terminal window ran the command
python manage.py shell without first switching to the venv.

The problem was resolved after I switched back.

I found that I could import the django module from the python interpreter, but django-admin.py could not import it when run from the command line.

I confirmed that I was using the python interpreter in my virtual environment.

I was using a 64-bit version of python. Uninstalling, and installing the 32-bit version, then re-creating my venv solved this for me.

If you’re using virtualenv, you can add it to your path using sys.path.append('./myvenv/lib/python3.5/site-packages').

Try closing and opening the terminal again. That worked for me too.
