Answer 1

this is taken fron the Documentation write this: WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/mysite.com/mysite/wsgi.py WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com

Require all granted

and this is specifically for the virtual env, you need to write the path to the site packeges of your python virtual env:

WSGIPythonPath /path/to/mysite.com:/path/to/your/venv/lib/python3.X/site-packages

the problem may also be in the - PYTHONHOME

Change the location of the standard Python libraries. By default, the libraries are searched in prefix/lib/pythonversion and exec_prefix/lib/pythonversion, where prefix and exec_prefix are installation-dependent directories, both defaulting to /usr/local.

When PYTHONHOME is set to a single directory, its value replaces both prefix and exec_prefix. To specify different values for these, set PYTHONHOME to prefix:exec_prefix.

Try to clean up your PYTHONHOME:

user$ export PYTHONHOME=
