mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE)

Hello, can someone help me figure out what I must fix in order for my website to work?

I have tried going through the debugging page and my static pathing is correct

here is my error code:

Here is my wsgi file:

import os
import sys

path = os.path.expanduser('~/skeletonv3')
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'skeletonv3.settings'

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from django.contrib.staticfiles.handlers import StaticFilesHandler
application = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())

My settings.py file is located at:

/home/Gassymule/Skeletonv3.1/skeletonv3/skeletonv3/settings.py

and my wsgi.py file is located at

/var/www/gassymule_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py

Can anyone help me with this? I cannot find the solution on the internet.

Have you installed the module Skeletonv3 ?

I am not quite sure what you mean by that? I followed the django girls tutorial:

https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/deploy/

and the most that I can think of is that I pulled my code from github.

Do I have to run a bash command to install the module? Secondly, I don't know why it is capitalising "Skeletonv3", the only file that has a capital is Skeletonv3.1, the django directories are both named skeletonv3.

It seems like somewhere in your code you are importing Skeletonv3. That is probably a typo on your part.

I figured it out. I feel like such a foolish boy lol.

the mistake I was making was just not having the correct path. I changed it from 

path = '/home/Gassymule/Skeletonv3.1/skeletonv3/skeletonv3'

into 

path = '/home/Gassymule/Skeletonv3.1/skeletonv3'

here is my wsgi file,

# +++++++++++ DJANGO +++++++++++
# To use your own Django app use code like this:
import os
import sys

# assuming your Django settings file is at '/home/myusername/mysite/mysite/settings.py'
path = '/home/Gassymule/Skeletonv3.1/skeletonv3'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'skeletonv3.settings'

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

Aha! That makes sense. Glad you worked it out.
