Deploying Django with gunicorn No module named ImportError: No module named validation

python django python-2.7 nginx gunicorn

Changing gunicorn_django to gunicorn newApp.wsgi:application should fix this.

Using gunicorn_django is no longer recommended. This is because it calls django_wsgi.py which is deprecated and throws the import error.

It looks like django wsgi file for gunicorn has django dependency. (Last line of stack trace.)https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/blob/e0b3c42dd2c31b2f60abd6833401bd8eed116dc6/gunicorn/app/django_wsgi.py#L21

It looks to me like gunicorn cannot find django on its path.
