Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 11:36am

I have installed the package ‘drf_yasg’
if im using

python manage.py runserver

it’s working fine. but if I’m running in de-bug mode it’s shows

What specifically do you mean by this?

(Generally speaking, the issue is going to be that whatever you’re using to run in “debug mode” is either referencing a different Python environment or doesn’t recognize that the package has been installed.)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘drf_yasg’

@luigiamorfini1982 @KenWhitesell
/env/lib/python3.10/site-packages
I have manually added the drf-yasg file in env folder

@KenWhitesell @luigiamorfini1982
lol now i get new error

but while installing psycopg2 i have faced another error

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

but i have installed psycopg2-binary but it’s not recommented for production as per the documentation
please help me to fix that psycopg_documentation

KenWhitesell · June 13, 2022, 12:50pm

The root cause is that you don’t have VSCode set up to use the same virtual environment for running your application in debug as when you run runserver from the command line.

(That was the cause of your original issue as well - manually copying the library just “masked” the problem, it didn’t solve it.)

Also, on a side note - I, along with many other people I know, do use psycopg2-binary in production modes. There are circumstances where it’s not a good idea to do that, but nothing I do is affected by it.

Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 1:03pm

the how to fix this issue

KenWhitesell · June 13, 2022, 1:07pm

I’m going to have to ask you to please stop posting screenshots. They can’t be quoted or referred to in responses.
Please copy/paste text of messages into your response, surrounded by the lines of three backtick - ` characters, just like you would do with code.

If it’s the same psycopg2 issue as reported earlier, it’s the same issue. You need to make sure that VSCode is using the same virtual environment for debug that you use when you’re running your application using runserver.

Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 1:16pm

I have only one environment it name was env

Yes it’s using the same environment

No, it’s not. If it were trying to use the same virtual environment, it would be using the same libraries. You’ve got something not configured correctly in your run configuration for debug mode.

Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 1:39pm

I’m not understand
Installed package not showing in environment folder like we disscussed drf-yasg
I don’t know why

Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 2:03pm

if I using pip list it’s show all package i have installed but it’s not shown in env folder

please help

KenWhitesell · June 13, 2022, 2:05pm

The only explanation I have for this is that the active environment when you run pip list is not the env folder you are looking at.

Antony-M1 · June 13, 2022, 2:29pm

no Mr @KenWhitesell i have runned in the environment folder, i have restarted my system also just now. i don’t know why it’s happening

KenWhitesell · June 13, 2022, 3:14pm

Just running something while in the environment directory does not mean that that environment is the active venv. A virtual environment must be activated before it is active.

Antony-M1 · June 14, 2022, 6:38am

step 1.use this command

pip freeze > requirements.txt

step2. delete the old env (environment file)

step3. (create the environtment) click here

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

step4. use this command

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Ha! I installed psycopg2[binary] and it fixed my issue! Thank you Ken!

Also I am using the Django Forums article searches more and my problems are being solved faster! I AM SO PUMPED! I feel like a real troubleshooter!
