Unable to find Django application modules on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

I am trying to run a Django application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, but I am stuck with what seems to be a PYTHONPATH or virtualenv problem, and I cannot figure it out.

When I try to load a page in my browser, I get a yellow Django error screen (I'm still in debug mode):

Exception Value: No module named views.rest
Exception Location: /opt/python/current/app/project/urls.py in <module>, line 3
Python Executable:  /opt/python/run/venv/bin/python
Python Version: 2.7.5
Python Path:    
['/opt/python/run/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
 '/opt/python/current/app',
...

My urls.py resources:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from myapp.views.rest import *

If I ssh into an EC2 instance, the path looks right; /opt/python/current/appcontains my application including /opt/python/current/app/myapp/views/rest.py.

My directory structure contains (there too, of course):

app/
    .ebextensions/
        packages.config
        python.config
    .elasticbeanstalk/
        config
        optionsettings.myapp-deployment-env
    project/
        settings.py
    application.py
    myapp/
        views/
            rest.py
            views.py
            __init__.py

In __init__.pyI have:

from myapp.views.views import *
from myapp.views.rest import *

The problem is not related to these files, but if I add another import to urls.py, this will not work either, so it does not find the application at all.

In packages.configI have:

packages:
  yum:
    postgresql-devel: []

python.config ( virtualenv, ?)

container_commands:
  00_activate:
    command: "source /opt/python/run/venv/bin/activate"
  01_make_admin_executable:
    command: "chmod +x scripts/createadmin.py"
    leader_only: true
  02_make_executable:
    command: "chmod +rx application.py"
    leader_only: true
  03_syncdb:
    command: "python manage.py syncdb --noinput"
    leader_only: true
  04_collectstatic:
    command: "python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"

option_settings:
  - option_name: AWS_SECRET_KEY
    value: mykey
  - option_name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    value: myaccesskeyid
  - option_name: application_stage
    value: "staging"

mod_wsgi vs Django. Graham Dumpleton ( ).

mod_wsgi . WSGI (application.py) , :

import os
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, '/opt/python/current/app')

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

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