Hi I have a django project (4.2.2) and when I start the project from the terminal inside VS Code using "python3 manage.py runserver" everything works perfectly. But I want to debug it so I created a launch.json file to start it as debug Here is what it contains: { // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes. // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes. // For more information, visit: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=830387 "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "name": "Python Debugger django", "type": "debugpy", "request": "launch", "program": "${workspaceFolder}/manage.py", "console": "integratedTerminal", "django": true, "args": [ "runserver", ] } ] } When I try to start the project using debug button I get the following error: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 or psycopg module I have installed psycopg library as if I look at my requiremnts.txt I have psycopg==3.2.4 psycopg-binary==3.2.4 Not sure what is the problem? In debug mode the error is display in my models.py file: from django.db import models class User(models.Model): # <-- here is the error """ User entity """ id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True) first_name = models.CharField(max_length=80) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100) # created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) def __str__(self): return f"{self.first_name} {self.last_name}" EDIT: added full error trace below Exception in thread django-main-thread: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py", line 25, in <module> import psycopg as Database ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psycopg' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py", line 27, in <module> import psycopg2 as Database ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psycopg2' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.10/threading.py", line 1016, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.10/threading.py", line 953, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 64, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/runserver.py", line 126, in inner_run autoreload.raise_last_exception() File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 87, in raise_last_exception raise _exception[1] File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 394, in execute autoreload.check_errors(django.setup)() File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/utils/autoreload.py", line 64, in wrapper fn(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 24, in setup apps.populate(settings.INSTALLED_APPS) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 116, in populate app_config.import_models() File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 269, in import_models self.models_module = import_module(models_module_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1050, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 883, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/louis/zero/backend/ztm_app/models.py", line 3, in <module> class User(models.Model): File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 143, in __new__ new_class.add_to_class("_meta", Options(meta, app_label)) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 371, in add_to_class value.contribute_to_class(cls, name) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/models/options.py", line 231, in contribute_to_class self.db_table, connection.ops.max_name_length() File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/utils/connection.py", line 15, in __getattr__ return getattr(self._connections[self._alias], item) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/utils/connection.py", line 62, in __getitem__ conn = self.create_connection(alias) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 193, in create_connection backend = load_backend(db["ENGINE"]) File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 113, in load_backend return import_module("%s.base" % backend_name) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1050, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1027, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1006, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 688, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 883, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/home/louis/zero/backend/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql/base.py", line 29, in <module> raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading psycopg2 or psycopg module") django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 or psycopg module Continue reading...
