Apache virtualenv and mod_wsgi : ImportError : No module named 'django'

Question

I'm having issues running django and apache2/mod_wsgi. This is my current setup:

Ubuntu: 16.0
Apache: 2.4.18
Python: 3.5
Django: 1.10

I have installed a virtualenv inside my django project for user 'carma'. Structure is:

/home/carma/mycarma
|- manage.py
static
mycarma
    |__init__.py
    |settings.py
    |urls.py
    |wsgi.py
mycarmanev
    bin
    include
    lib

This is the content of /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    Alias /static /home/carma/mycarma/static
    <Directory /home/carma/mycarma/static>
            Require all granted
    </Directory>
    <Directory /home/carma/mycarma/mycarma>
            <Files wsgi.py>
                    Require all granted
            </Files>
    </Directory>

    WSGIDaemonProcess mycarma python-path=/home/carma/mycarma/ python-home=/home/carma/mycarma/mycarmavirtuale$
    WSGIProcessGroup mycarma
    WSGIScriptAlias / /home/carma/mycarma/mycarma/wsgi.py

This is the content of wsgi.py

import os,sys
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
DJANGO_PATH =  os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), '..')
sys.path.append(DJANGO_PATH)
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mycarma.settings")

application = get_wsgi_application()

And I have already given permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/carma/mycarma/mycarmaenv
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/carma/mycarma

The problem comes when I try to access the url of my server, checking the apache log this is the issue:

[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] mod_wsgi (pid=25183): Target WSGI script '/home/carma/mycarma/mycarma/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.
[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] mod_wsgi (pid=25183): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/home/carma/mycarma/mycarma/wsgi.py'.
[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] Traceback (most recent call last):
[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] File "/home/carma/mycarma/mycarma/wsgi.py", line 12, in <module>
[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
[wsgi:error] [pid 25183] ImportError: No module named 'django'

I have read all the possible discussions here and outside, found also this thread which expose exactly the same problem but nothing worked for me.

Any help is appreciated thanks!

did you checked django is correctly installed or not using `pip freeze` command.... — mahendra kamble, Oct 14 '16 at 11:41
What version of Python is mod_wsgi compiled for. Likely it is not Python 3.5 and so it is ignoring your Python virtual environment. What do you get for ``ldd`` on the ``mod_wsgi.so`` file. See http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/user-guides/checking-your-installation.html#python-shared-library — Graham Dumpleton, Oct 14 '16 at 11:41
Missed that. Yes, the path to ``python-home`` should be what ``sys.prefix`` is for the virtual environment. It doesn't seem to match your layout. — Graham Dumpleton, Oct 14 '16 at 11:44

I think it is a typo, mycarmanev or mycarmavirtuanev ?

WSGIDaemonProcess mycarma python-path=/home/carma/mycarma/ python-home=/home/carma/mycarma/myprojectenv
