Okay so it goes like this   You have created a virtual environment and django module belongs to that environment only Since virtualenv isolates itself from everything else hence you are seeing this   go through this for further assistance   http   www swegler com becky blog 2011 08 27 python-django-mysql-on-windows-7-part-i-getting-started    1 You can switch to the directory where your virtual environment is stored and then run the django module   2 Alternatively you can install django globally to your python- site-packages by either running pip or easy install  Command using pip  pip install django  then do this   import django print  django get version     depending on which version of python you use This for python 3  series   and then you can run this  python manage py runserver and check on your web browser by typing  localhost 8000 and you should see django powered page   Hope this helps

It sounds like you do not have django installed  You should check the directory produced by this command    python -c  from distutils sysconfig import get python lib  print get python lib      To see if you have the django packages in there    If there s no django folder inside of site-packages  then you do not have django installed  at least for that version of python     It is possible you have more than one version of python installed and django is inside of another version  You can find out all the versions of python if you type python and then press TAB  Here are all the different python s I have     python python            python2-config    python2 6         python2 7-config  pythonw2 5 python-config     python2 5         python2 6-config  pythonw           pythonw2 6 python2           python2 5-config  python2 7         pythonw2          pythonw2 7   You can do the above command for each version of python and look inside the site-packages directory of each to see if any of them have django installed  For example   python2 5 -c  from distutils sysconfig import get python lib  print get python lib    python2 6 -c  from distutils sysconfig import get python lib  print get python lib      If you happen to find django inside of say python2 6  try your original command with  python2 6 manage py

I got the same error and I fixed it in this manner   I had to activate my virtual environment using the following command   source python2 7 bin activate

Most probably in your manage py the first line starts with   usr bin python which means you are using the system global python rather than the one in your virtual environment    so replace    usr bin python   with     projectpath venv bin python   and you should be good

This also happens if you change the directory structure of your python project  I did this  and then puzzled over the change in behavior    If you do so  you ll need to change a line in your  bin activate file   So  say your project was at    User me CodeProjects coolApp    and your activate file is at   User me CodeProjects coolApp venv bin activate   when you set up your project  then you changed your project to    User me CodeProjects v1-coolApp    or something   You would then need to open    User me CodeProjects v1-coolApp venv bin activate   find the line where it says  VIRTUAL ENV   User me CodeProjects coolApp  export VIRTUAL ENV   and change it to  VIRTUAL ENV   User me CodeProjects v1-coolApp    before reactivating
