everycheese | The ultimate cheese index

I’m sure this is pretty straightforward to someone experienced. I’m learning Django through the Wedge of Django ebook.

I’m using Python 3.8.7 installed via pyenv like so: pyenv install 3.8.7

Then I’ve set up a virtualenv like so: pyenv virtualenv 3.8.7 everycheese

I activate the virtualenv in my repo like so: pyenv local everycheese

The environment is shown as active in the prompt, as it starts with (everycheese).

The main project is cloned from Django Cookiecutter https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django

I’ve then used pip to install requirements from the requirements.txt files.

However - I’m running into trouble when I try to add new packages (by adding the package to requirements.txt as a new line and installing again with pip).

pip list, or pip freeze both show the new module. But when I add the module to my INSTALLED_APPS and try to import it in my models.py file, Django cannot find it.

When I type which python, and which pip, they point to different directories and I think this may be part of the problem but I am stuck.
