I'm running Django 1.8 and Python 3.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Just recently, my Django app has been reporting that GEOS is not present. GEOS is installed and libgeos_c.so is where it's supposed to be (/usr/lib/). My code seems fine. It is the source of a docker image which still works. This seems to indicate an os/incompatibility issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
The full traceback is

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: GEOS is required and has not been detected. Are you sure it is installed? See also https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/gis/install/geolibs/
I've tried reinstalling libgdal-dev. All relevant packages (GDAL, GEOS etc) are up to date.
I've tried working my way back through the Python code. it fails in djanjo/contrib/gis/geos/__init__.py on the following. As HAS_GEOS is set to false it reports that GEOS is not present.
try:
from .libgeos import geos_version, geos_version_info # NOQA: flake8 detects only the last __all__
HAS_GEOS = True
__all__ += ['geos_version', 'geos_version_info']
except ImportError:
HAS_GEOS = False
I suspect that a recent OS upgrade/patch has broken GEOS or GDAL. The root cause seems to be something to do with ctypes, but I can't see what it could be.
The following might be useful.

ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload/_ctypes.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _PyTraceback_Add
I had the same problem today, though in an unrelated python project. This is is the line I also encountered and which led me here:
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload/_ctypes.cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _PyTraceback_Add
It looks like Ubunut has pushed a Python 3.4 update which is not compatible with existing virtual environments. I'm able to fix the problem by recreating the virtualenv. Where this was impractical for the moment I simply replaced the virtualenv's python with the system one:
cd my-virtualenv
cp /usr/bin/python3.4 bin/python3.4
I can't say if this is a very sane thing to do, but it does seem to work in my case.
You should do
cp /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/my-virtualenv/bin/python3
instead, because that's the actual non-symlink file.
