Flask and Apache2: No module named app

Question

I'm trying to deploy Flask app via Apache2 but I'm getting No module named app error. I'm also using virtualenv

planer(Flask app)

app.py   forms.py   .git        helpers.py   __init__.py  main.pyc   models.pyc   README.md         setup.cfg  templates  views.py
app.pyc  forms.pyc  .gitignore  helpers.pyc  main.py      models.py  planer.wsgi  requirements.txt  static     venv       views.pyc

planer.conf

        LogLevel warn
        CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

planer.wsgi

import sys, os
sys.path.insert (0,'/var/www/planer')

    sys.path = [
        '/var/www/planer/venv/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
        '/usr/lib/python2.7',
    ]

    activate_this = '/var/www/planer/venv/bin/activate_this.py'
    execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

    import app as application

in planer.wsgi, use from app import app as application works? — lord63. j

Delete all the *.pyc and try from planer.app import app as application works? If still not work, you may show us the content of app.py and __init__.py. — lord63. j

Make sure the .wsgi file is executable:

sudo chmod a+x planer.wsgi

And try to load it with this:

python /absolute/path/to/planer.wsgi

What happens when you do python /absolute/path/to/planer.wsgi?
