PyCharm 2.7 + django 1.4.3 + can't import flup.sever.fcgi_fork

Question

OS: Windows 7 Django: 1.4.3

Actions Taken:

• Upgraded from PyCharm 2.6.3 to PyCharm 2.7
• Opened a project that was working perfectly fine on PyCharm 2.6.3.
• Ran manage.py run under PyCharm
• Received an error that flup was not installed (didn't need flup in PyCharm 2.6.3)

• Ran pip install flup at the command line

  C:\>pip install flup

  Downloading/unpacking flup Downloading flup-1.0.3.dev-20110405.tar.gz (57kB): 57kB downloaded Running setup.py egg_info for package flup

  Installing collected packages: flup Running setup.py install for flup

  Successfully installed flup
  Cleaning up...

• Ran manage.py run under PyCharm

Received the following error:

runnerw.exe C:\Python27\python.exe "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 2.7\helpers\pycharm\django_manage.py" runfcgi C:/<location of my project>
Can't import flup.server.fcgi_fork

Process finished with exit code 0

Question: How do I fix this?

Answer 1

The problem was that the auto-complete feature for manage.py commands defaults to the less commonly used runfcgi under PyCharm 2.7 instead of runserver.

Now I have to type runs.

Answer 2

fcgi_fork is using in unix like os. If you want to run in windows, just run like below:

python manage.py runfcgi thread=4
