I am using ubuntu 16.04 and installed python 3.7 and set it to default using this instructions: Unable to set default python version to python3 in ubuntu when I type python in the console I get python3.7 , i tried to set appache2 to work with python 3.7 using :

sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get update --yes
sudo apt-get install --yes python3.7
sudo apt-get install --yes python3-pip
sudo apt-get --yes install python3-pip apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 
sudo a2enmod wsgi
sudo apt install --yes python-django-common
sudo apt-get  install --yes python-django

but still I get exceptions of import packages that are already installed in /var/log/apache2/error.log when try to reach out to the server that I don't get at the terminal like this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/home/ubuntu/my_code/wsgi.py", line 11, in <module>
     from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
 ImportError: No module named 'django'
 mod_wsgi (pid=75005): Target WSGI script '/home/ubuntu/my_code/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.
mod_wsgi (pid=75005): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/home/ubuntu/my_code/wsgi.py'.
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ubuntu/my_code/wsgi.py", line 11, in <module>
  from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

and

mod_wsgi (pid=75005): Target WSGI script '/home/ubuntu/my_code/wsgi.py' cannot be loaded as Python module.

even though i have django installed in python 3.7 another error i get is after service restart :

 mod_wsgi (pid=89300): Call to 'site.addsitedir()' failed for '(null)', stopping.

my wsgiy.py :

import os
import sys

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "servicesite.settings")
path='/home/ubuntu/my_code/'

if path not in sys.path:
  sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'my_code.settings'
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

What can be the reason for this error?

make custom builds of Python and mod_wsgi ourselves.

apt install apache2 apache2-dev
wget https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/archive/4.7.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz 4.7.1.tar.gz
cd mod_wsgi-4.7.1

./configure --with-python=[your python path]
## For example: ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.7

sudo make
sudo make install

## Finally:
sudo systemctl reload apache2

You can use which python3.7 to find the path of the Python file.

I had a similar error message, it turned out that SELinux enforcement is the culprit. You can try to turn off SELinux temporary to test.

setenforce 0

// run sestatus to confirm that either it's permissive or disabled
sestatus

If that fixes your issue either you can roll the dice and disable SELinux permanently or find the proper way to fix it.

Did you compile python manually? if that the case, it's a whole different ball game. You might have to recompile python again with a whole slew of flags to get it to work.

First of all, it seems you messed up installing python and pip. if you have python3-pip installed then you should try sudo pip3 intall django and later check import Django from the python37 interpreter you are using.

another thing is using system python is not good way.

I suggest improve your knowledge following https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/

also using apache with mod_wsgi is pretty old you could try https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-16-04
