python - Firebase Admin SDK with Flask throws error No module named 'firebase_admin'

Question

It was my mistake, my uWSGI startup script switches to a different virtualenv.

--- Original question

I'm trying to publish push notifications from my Flask app server to Android APP.

Server environment (dev):

• Mac OS Sierra
• Flask 1.0.2
• Python 3.6.5
• firebase-admin SDK 2.17.0 (the latest version)

When running code as Flask application for initialising the SDK, import statement throws error:

import firebase_admin

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'firebase_admin'

However, running above import statement from Python interpreter mode gives no error. PyCharm is also able to recognize the firebase_admin module. All three setups (Flask app, interpreter, PyCharm) use the same virtualenv.

I had tried few older versions of SDK but error persists. Any clue?

--- More details

The module was installed from command line within virtualenv using command pip install firebase-admin.

The error occurs when running the code as Flask+uWSGI app from command line, within the same virtualenv. pip freeze shows that the module is indeed present.
