web2py + uwsgi + nginx on centos problem with python

[Yebach]

Hello everyone,

The problem is the following

on centos 7 the default version of python is 2.7.5

therefore I had to install 2.7.15 (application is old and works with that version of  python so we take that as the default)..

I set up an virtual env with python 2.7.15. and the app runs when run from web2py command lined python  webpy.py etc...

when i use uwsgi, the uwsgi is not using the correct python and I am gettin the psycopg2 problem... If installed over pip or sudo pip or whatever the problem perssists.

this is uwsgi log

If I run the nginx and all the related stuff the same error occurs although in my web2py.ini file i have the following

[uwsgi]
plugin = python2.7
plugins-dir = /usr/lib64/uwsgi
logto = /opt/web2py/uwsgi.log
chdir = /opt/web2py
module = wsgihandler
callable = application
master = true
processes = 5
uid = woshi
socket = /run/uwsgi/web2py.sock
chown-socket = woshi:nginx
chmod-socket = 660
vacuum = true
virtualenv = /home/woshi/my27project
pythonpath = /home/woshi/my27project/bin/
#pythonpath = /home/woshi/my27project/lib/python2.7

If I comment python path it works but the wrong python is used by uwsgi while if pythonpath is userd the nginx returns an error. 

uwsgi was installed within virtual env and i even did another pyton 2.7.15 pip installation.

Any suggestions?

I am strugling with this for ages now

thank you.

best regards
