to django-oscar
I am trying to follow the readme to start a django-oscar site, but I cannot get the migrate step to run. Below I have listed the things I tried. The TLDR version is I tried setting django-oscar up in a python3 virtual env, but when I went to migrate and establish the initial sqllite db, I got an error saying could not import django. I am 100% certain my virtual env is active. I tried again using pip3, and again erasing the whole environment and starting over without python3. In all cases I get a "ImportError: Couldn't import Django."
I could use a hand. I have COVID and my troubleshooting skills are a little fuzzy at the moment. Thank you!
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 foobar
pip install django-oscar[sorl-thumbnail]
django-admin startproject foobar
cd foobar/
