I installed uwsgi via apt-get. I also tried

Answer 1

I had this problem when my homebrew updated my Python version to Python 3.7 and it stopped working. What worked for me was brew info python - that will show you all your available Python versions. Than I rolled back to Python 3.6.5 using brew switch python 3.6.5.

After that I simply reinstalled my uWSGI using:

pip3 uninstall uwsgi
pip3 install uwsgi

And that solved it. If you're not sure what version of Python you were using, brew info python shows you the install dates. Also, you can check using pip3 list if your uWSGI is installed for the current version.

Hope this helps!
