I deployed my django application with sqlite3, uwsgi emperor mode and python v3.6.7 on ubuntu 18.04 Now I changed database to postgresql, every thing worked fine in my local machine, but in the server when I run uwsgi server.ini (for testing purpose) I get this error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: No module named 'psycopg2'

and application just shows "Internal Server Error" in the browser.

I can import psycopg2 in the python shell without any error
psycopg2 is installed in my virtualenv
I installed python-psycopg2 using apt-get too
django will run without any problem using python manage.py runserver
I did not use sudo with pip to install psycopg2
django settings.py configs are right, because I performed migrations

I read all similar problems and tried their answers, nothing worked :(

Are you sure that the shell is using the same environment. – Sayse May 23 '19 at 11:44
Yes, I used `virutalenv wrapper` and I open python shell while virtualenv is enabled @Sayse – Mmd M May 23 '19 at 11:45
@Sayse: How does one figure out whether the shell is using the same environment? – YCode Dec 23 '20 at 22:10
