-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Virtual Environment : Windows Powershell 5.0 /
virtualenvironmentwrapper-powershell
Python : 2.7.12 / Django: 1.10.4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside venvs the following are installed
virtualenv==15.1.0
virtualenvwrapper-powershell==12.7.8
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside venv, Django is installed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
django-admin startproject mysite
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
manage.py shell ( throws ImportError )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try:
import django
except ImportError:
raise ImportError(
"Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
"available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
"forget to activate a virtual environment?"
)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation 1 : Even though manage.py is unable to import Django
if we open a python shell, we can import django
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation 2 : If we pip install Django outside the venv redundantly
then manage.py will not throw ImportError on any of the manage.py
commands. it will pickup django from there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue : manage.py should get Django from the virtualenv
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
