Hi Khaleel and whoever this may help in the future,
Actually you were right Khaleel, on those lines i checked this thread which was useful to me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/122327/how-do-i-find-the-location-of-my-python-site-packages-directory Following which i was stareing at the exception and realised that the clue which was in front of me since hours to resolve this issue.Like in Java, python gives you the root cause of an exception, but as i was used to Java and .Net i didnt realise the annotation used by python. The exception i was bothered about the exception: AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages\django\db\utils.py", line 121, in load_backend raise ImproperlyConfigured( django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'djongo' isn't an available database backend. Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of: 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'sqlite3' Where as python had already listed the root cause which was : \Python\Python38\site-packages\djongo\database.py", line 2, in <module> from pymongo import MongoClient ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymongo' The *above exception was the direct cause *of the following exception: Indeed that's where Khaleel you were right, PyMongo i installed through pycharm, which desginated a sitepackage folder that wasnt my user site-package... Hope this helps someone falling into the same trap. Cheers, Es.
