uWSGI, ImportError: No module named site on Ubuntu

Question

enter image description here

I'm trying to follow the tutorial at http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html. I've gotten everything working down tohttp://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html#install-uwsgi-system-wide. I am working with an ubuntu 14.4 instance on amazon EC2:

Without going into my virtualenv , I ran:

sudo pip install uwsgi

This led to

     ############## end of uWSGI configuration #############
     total build time: 24 seconds
     *** uWSGI is ready, launch it with /usr/local/bin/uwsgi ***     

 Successfully installed uwsgi
 Cleaning up...

Then I ran:

 ubuntu@ip-172-31-28-196:~$ uwsgi --ini /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp/mysite_uwsgi.ini
 [uWSGI] getting INI configuration from /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp/mysite_uwsgi.ini

Where is

ImportError: No module named site on Ubuntu

coming from and how can I fix this?

run `sudo uwsgi --ini /home/ubuntu/tproxy/tp/mysite_uwsgi.ini` — Jared Mackey, Mar 06 '15 at 16:43
I also installed the LTS version at sudo pip install http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/uwsgi-lts.tar.gz. No change — user1592380, Mar 06 '15 at 18:04
BTW, just wanted to thank you again for your help this week. I think I got enough to run it in a basic way with my virtualenv. I see that other people have had the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16605048/flasknginxuwsgi-importerror-no-module-named-site?rq=1 — user1592380, Mar 07 '15 at 16:18
It has something to do with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25715039/python-interplay-between-lib-site-packages-site-py-and-lib-site-py — user1592380, Mar 08 '15 at 18:05
I have a follow up at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29640868/compile-failed-with-error-code-1-in-tmp-pip-build-root-uwsgi, while trying to follow the answer below , if you have time. — user1592380, Apr 15 '15 at 13:18

Try no-site = True in mysite_uwsgi.ini file.

I'm not very good with uwsgi. I only had my own problems(installed it few days ago for the first time) and while googling for my solution I found your question. stackoverflow.com/questions/29631136/cant-run-uwsgi-with-ini-file-in-emperraor-mode-permission-denied – Lucas03 Apr 15 '15 at 23:39
