Starting rqworker using supervisor causes spawn error

Question

Trying to start rqworker as stated in its README using this command:

python manage.py rqworker default

For some reason it gives ERROR (spawn error) and status shows FATAL Exited too quickly (process log may have details) . Logs has no any information for error ( exit status 1; not expected ).

My supervisor configuration:

[program:rqworker]
user=ubuntu
directory=/var/www/project/
command=/var/www/project/venv/bin/python manage.py rqworker default > /var/log/project/rq.log
stopsignal=TERM
autorestart=true
autostart=true
numprocs=1

Running command directly from ubuntu user works as expected.

I submitted a PR on how to set this up on Ubuntu which may help you.
