Wsgi not finding python modules

Question

Trying to get Django server running with Apache and WSGI

This is my wsgi.py

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

sys.path.append('/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsil') 
# adjust the Python version in the line below as needed 
sys.path.append('/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsilenv/lib/python3.6') 

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "narsil.settings")

application = get_wsgi_application()

And this is my /etc/apache2/sites-enabled conf file

<VirtualHost *:80> 
 ServerName narsil.mti.local 
 DocumentRoot /home/rohan/Desktop/narsil 
 WSGIScriptAlias / /home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsil/wsgi.py 

 # adjust the following line to match your Python path 
 WSGIDaemonProcess narsil.mti.local processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-home=/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsilenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages
 WSGIProcessGroup narsil.mti.local 

 <directory /home/rohan/Desktop/narsil> 
   AllowOverride all 
   Require all granted 
   Options FollowSymlinks 
 </directory> 

 Alias /static/ /home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/static/ 

 <Directory /home/rohan/Desktop/rohan/static> 
  Require all granted 
 </Directory> 
</VirtualHost>

This is from the error log

Current thread 0x00007f0d45637bc0 (most recent call first):
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

I tried the similar solutions mentioned here but they dont seem to work. I am using virtualenv with pip install mod_wsgi. The Django is returning 404 Not Found This is the log from apachectl -S

Maybe your problem is only that you written

WSGIDaemonProcess narsil.mti.local processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-home=/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsilenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages

instead of

WSGIDaemonProcess narsil.mti.local processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP} python-path=/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil:/home/rohan/Desktop/narsil/narsilenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages

(two difference, it is python-path not home, and I also add in the path the root folder of your code)

FYI here is my site.conf Note that I do not use a virtualenv, i run a single project in a docker container
