On a fresh install of Debian Bullseye I am unable to use the uwsgi command. It fails to load the requested virtualenv.

This is the command that fails:

uwsgi --plugins http,python3 --wsgi-file wsgi.py --http :9090 --virtualenv /opt/example/virtualenv

The content of wsgi.py is just the default Django-generated file with an added print() statement:

import os, sys
print(sys.path)
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'example.settings')
application = get_wsgi_application()

And this is the output of the uwsgi command:

$ uwsgi --plugins http,python3 --wsgi-file wsgi.py --http :9090 --virtualenv /opt/example/virtualenv

As you can see, uwsgi informs me that is has detected the virtualenv and has "Set PythonHome to /opt/example/virtualenv", but the output of the print() statement shows that this is not the case.

If I activate the virtualenv manually, I can confirm that Django is correctly installed inside the virtualenv:

$ . /opt/example/virtualenv/bin/activate
$ python
Python 3.8.6 (default, Sep 25 2020, 09:36:53)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import django
>>> django.__file__
'/opt/example/virtualenv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/__init__.py'
>>>

What's wrong and how can I fix this?

I've seen similar things before and what I do is install uwsgi via pip so when you run it, uwsgi is already "in" the virtualenv and therefore activated.
