os.environ is not a module. It is a variable environ inside the os module. The import statement only imports the modules. Use it this way:

import os
print(os.environ)

Other usage:

from os import environ
print(environ)

I was using Heroku/Django and got this error during a push.

I hadn't added django-environ to the requirements.txt.

I updated the file by: pip freeze > requirements.txt

Heroku then downloaded the module.
