I using a virtualenv and I am trying to set up postgresql. I have psycopg2 installed on my system, but it appears that my virtual env does not recognize psycopg2. Is it possible to just copy the system wide psycopg2 files into my django project directory or is this a bad approach to take?
This is the relevant part of my settings.py file in my django project.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'django_db' ,
'USER': 'myusername' ,
'PASSWORD': 'mypassword' ,
'HOST': 'localhost' ,
'PORT': '' ,
}
}
When I run python manage.py migrate
I get this error:

When I do pip install psycopg2 in my virtual env, I get the following error:

This is an old thread but some people might experience Python.h not found
type of error while pip-installing psycopg2 to virtualenv on Ubuntu based systems.
Check your virtualenv python version by running python -V
inside virtualenv.
Assuming it is Python 3.8.0, try installing libpython3.8-dev to your system (not virtualenv) by:
sudo apt-get install libpython3.8-dev
Probably similar approach with other versions.
That solved it for me.
Based on the combination of your question and one of your comments, it appears that when you ran sudo pip install psycopg2
, it was using the system install, as it referred to psycopg2 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages which is different from the environment from which you're trying to run Django .
Your permissions error, which is from the Django environment, seems likely to be due to not using sudo
(among other things, some C compilation needs to take place, during the psycopg2 install, and so sudo
is often required whereas it isn't with many other packages).
I would recommend you refer to the virtualenv install's pip binary explicitly when running the sudo
command.
ie: sudo <virtualenv_root>/bin/pip install psycopg2
Something that worked for me (python 3.8 in virtualenv): Inside the virtual environment type:
pip install psycopg2-binary
Best.
