How can I set up Debian x86_64 so a Django project sees django.contrib.staticfiles?

[Christos Jonathan Seth Hayward]

I have a new Debian VPS, and a Django project that I am trying to deploy is not seeing django.contrib.staticfiles.*. Doing a "pip install django-staticfiles" has not observably changed things.

What is the best way to have things running well enough that such Django projects will run?

Thanks,

First of all are you using a virtual environment for running the django project in? If not, I would strongly recommend that you check how to use and implement virtualenv. The problem with running python on a debian based system otherwise is that you can get issues with different packages in different places. If you create a virtual environment and run everything from there you get complete control over which version of python and which version of your plugins will be running.
