ImportError: Couldn't import Django

Question

I\'ve already configured virtualenv in pycharm, when using the python manage.py command, this is error shown:

E:\\video course\\Python\\code\\web_worker\\MxO         


        

Answer 1

you need to go to the root directory and run the below command

source bin/activate

Once the above command is executed, you will be able to create custom apps

Answer 2

I faced the same issue, and in my case it was because I had multiple python versions on my machine, in addition to the Anaconda ones. In my case django didn't worked well with my anaconda python. I knew that when I run import django on each python terminal for all versions I have.

As a summary here are the steps I made to get this solved:

1. Run the CMD as Admin

2. Create a project folder.

3. Create a new ENV for this new project INSIDE THE PROJECT Folder...

   pip install virtualenv >> virtualenv new_env`
   

4. Activate it:

   .\new_env\Scripts\activate`
   

5. After the env activation ⇒ Install Django:

   python -m pip install Django
   

The python version you used here in step 5 will determine which python will to work with this installed Django.

Answer 3

You need to use both commands: pip install django and pip3 install django that worked for me

Answer 4

I also face the same problem in windows 10 with anaconda For me anaconda3\Scripts>activate

it's working good. What you have to do you just need to go to anaconda home

AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts

and you need to open a cmd prompt and type activate.

It will activate the venv for you.
