[Python] Trying to deploy Django web app on PythonAnywhere, "no python application found"

I have a Django web app (Python 3.11) that runs on Azure, and I'm trying to migrate it to PythonAnywhere.

I've followed the setup instructions. The web page itself says "Internal Server Error". The error log is empty. The server log has the following:

--- no python application found, check your startup logs for errors ---


as well as a most peculiar 'import math' error (see below) that may be relevant. (Starting python in my virtual environment, I'm unable to import anything there either, so possibly a PYTHONPATH or other env problem?)

Where are these startup logs?

I assume something is just pointing to the wrong place, I just need the information to work out what.

The server log in more detail:
