Django mod_wsgi: ImportError: No module named 'home'
Question
I have a Django project that runs without issue using the dev server (runserver), but fails when serving through Apache/WSGI.
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Python 3.5.2
- Django 2.0.4
- mod_wsgi 4.6.4
The error is ImportError: No module named 'home' and here's the trace from Apache's error log:

It seems like the error is in settings.INSTALLED_APPS , which looks for a home app.
I can't find any issue with the Django files. I have a home app with an __init__.py file, and everything works on the dev server.
This makes me think it might be a mod_wsgi issue, so I reinstalled mod_wsgi to make sure I installed against the correct python version from my virtualenv, and I changed group ownership recursively to www-data to make sure I don't have permission issues.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple... but I don't see it!
Update 1
Here's the apache virtual host setup:
LogLevel info
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/xxx/is_websites/is_spa/is_spa/wsgi.py
WSGIDaemonProcess xxx_website processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup xxx_website
<Directory /home/xxx/is_websites/is_spa/is_spa/>
<Files wsgi.py>
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
Here is apache mod wsgi.load :
LoadModule wsgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so
Here is apache mod wsgi.conf :
WSGIPythonHome /home/xxx/is_websites/webenv/
WSGIPythonPath /home/xxx/is_websites/is_spa/
As requested, here's what I get when manually importing home :

>>> import home
>>> home.__file__

And here's the output from wsgi make install :

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/lib/apache2/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
chmod 644 /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_wsgi.so

Update 2
I added Python-path to the Damon process as instructed (as well as python-home): WSGIDaemonProcess website processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-home=/home/xxx/is_websites/webenv/ python-path=/home/xxx/is_websites/is_spa
But I still get an error. This time ImportError: No module named 'is_spa.is_spa'

But the is_spa module is there:
(webenv) xxx@django-wagtail-postgres:~/is_websites/is_spa$ python
Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import is_spa
>>> is_spa.__file__
'/home/wag/is_websites/is_spa/is_spa/__init__.py'
>>>
Is there a particular location that the script must be located in a Django project? My folder structure is /is_spa/is_spa/ , where the first directory is the project, and the second is the app. I currently have the WSGI script in the app directory, but I can't imagine that would matter when we explicitly set the python-path option.

The root cause is that the WSGIDamonProcess needs the python-path to be set explicitly in it's options. It does not inherit the global value.
As @GrahamDumpleton pointed out, changing
WSGIDaemonProcess website processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
to
WSGIDaemonProcess website processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-path=/home/xxx/is_websites/is_spa
solved the issue.
