The reason for this is that for non-installed packages, the module

Working with Virtual Environments
---------------------------------
Virtual environments have the advantage that they never install the
required dependencies system wide so you have a better control over what
is used where. If you want to use a virtual environment with mod_wsgi you
have to modify your `.wsgi` file slightly.
Add the following lines to the top of your `.wsgi` file::
activate_this = '/path/to/env/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
This sets up the load paths according to the settings of the virtual
environment. Keep in mind that the path has to be absolute.
