As @Freek said, site refers to a python module.

The error claims that python cannot find that package, which is because you have specified python_home to the wrong location.

I've encountered with the same problem and my uwsgi.ini is like below:

[uwsgi]
# variable
base = /home/xx/
# project settings
chdir = %(base)/
module = botservice.uwsgi:application
home = %(base)/env/bin

For this configuration uwsgi can find python executable in /env/bin but no packages could be found under this folder. So I changed home to

home = %(base)/env/

and it worked for me.

In your case, I suggest digging into home directive and point it to a location which contains both python executable and packages.
