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

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.
