Askbot Python2.6 Django VirtualEnv PostgreSQL ImportError : No module named OS

Installed askbot using pip in my Centos 6.5 and having issues while trying to access from browsers. Following is the error message displayed in my Apache error_log while accessing it through browser

Just a quick note, this is not an Askbot issue, but something more general regarding the apache configuration and/or your Python installation. Looks like an issue with the pythonpath.

@Evgeny Yes, I agree that this is not an issue with askbot. Am new to Python environment, any idea how to proceed further in solving this problem.

Sorry I don't have the time at the moment. Hopefully either someone else helps or you will find the solution elsewhere. I would recommend instead use nginx + uwsgi, the setup is simpler than with Apache. Please look for a general solution of type "how to deploy a django application.

Solved this problem by correcting the WSGIPythonHome and WSGIPythonPath values in wsgi.conf file. My wsgi.conf file contents as follows,

LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so

#the following two directories must be both readable and writable by apache
WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi
WSGIPythonEggs /var/python/eggs

#the following directory must be readable by apache
WSGIPythonHome /usr
WSGIPythonPath /usr/bin

After this, added the following few lines of code into django.wsgi file exists at /path/to/askbotdjangosite/

import site

# Add the site-packages of the chosen virtualenv to work with
site.addsitedir('/path/to/virtual/askbot/lib64/python2.6/site-packages')

# Activate your virtual env
activate_env=os.path.expanduser("/path/to/virtual/askbot/bin/activate_this.py")
execfile(activate_env, dict(__file__=activate_env))

And this has resolved my issues.

@Evgeny, Thanks for your comments.
