A bit of generic advice:
Be sure that you know which python is running your stuff: mod_wsgi,
and IIRC mod_python (if the site really uses it) are bound to a
specific python interpreter. It may or may not be the one where you
installed sorl-thumbnail. One question is whether the:
python manage.py shell
will start. If that works, runserver (the development server will
probably work (I'm guessing that you've been testing via Apache). If
so, then use the shell to pretty print sys.path, to find out where
that configuration is finding stuff:
from pprint import pprint
import sys
pprint(sys.path)
You can also write a trivial WSGI "application" (it's just a function)
that creates a text/plain response giving the same information for
that environment. You can also capture sys.version to confirm that
both pythons are, say, a 2.7.x or not.
If both pythons are compatible versions (not, say, a 2.6 and a 2.7),
you may be able to fix things with the python-path argument to the
WSGIDaemonProcess directive (specific to the daemon process group) or
more globally by using a WSGIPythonHome or WSGIPythonPath directive.
But it is also possible to install stuff in the python that mod_wsgi
is using be default, and to arrange for any manage.py actions you need
to run with that python.
