PythonAnywhere wsgi deployment error

Question

I've followed the steps and everything works fine on a local server but when I try to deploy on PythonAnywhere I keep running into problems. I don't know what I'm doing with the WSGI file so I just copied and pasted a template with some adjustments:

import os
import sys

path = '/home/KTruong88/Kappa_Ranks/Kappa_Ranks/'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'Kappa_Ranks.settings'

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application

I try to run the thing, and it gives me in the error logs:

TypeError: get_wsgi_application() takes 0 positional arguments but 2 were given

I don't know how if I configured my wsgi file properly, and I don't know where I can even access the get_wsgi_application() function so I can adjust it, or if I could, what would I adjust it too. How can I fix this?

PA dev here. We have a page for tips in debugging common issues in the wsgi file here, if it helps: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/DebuggingImportError. otherwise drop us a line to [email protected], we're happy to help. — hwjp

You did not need to "copy and paste" a WSGI file in the first place; it is included in the project that was created when you did django-admin.py startproject.

Nevertheless, the problem is that application should be the object returned from get_wsgi_application, not the function itself:

application = get_wsgi_application()

for info, pythonanywhere requires an additional wsgi file for configuration. copy-pasting is quite a common way to make one.
