Pygal import failure in apache - python

I'm trying to run a simple Flask web app that displays a pygal graph. When I run it with the python development server, the application runs fine. However, when I try to run it in apache2, I get the following error:

from FlaskApp import app as application
application.secret_key = 'secret key stuff'
Here are some details about my environment:
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)
Python 3.8.5 (installed in a virtual environment)
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

It appears that the python interpreter is compiled into the mod_wsgi.so file. An old version, that included python2, was being pointed to by Apache. To fix it I did the following:
Removed the old version of mod_wsgi by doing sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-wsgi
modified /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod_wsgi.load to point to the library (.so) file in my virtual environment. The contents of mod_wsgi looked like this:
LoadModule wsgi_module /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/mod_wsgi/server/mod_wsgi-py38.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
I suspect that modifying it here points all Apache virtual hosts to this python virtual environment, which isn't really ideal. It would be better if each Apache virtual host pointed to its own python environment.
Modified my wsgi file to work with the new version of python. Here are the contents:
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/FlaskApp/")
sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/")
from FlaskApp import app as application
application.secret_key = 'secret key stuff'
Changed the local imports in my __init__.py file to be preceeded by a dot(.)
Following these changes the site is now working as expected.

ModuleNotFoundError when making a Flask website using Apache2

I am trying to run a Flask website using Apache2 on Ubuntu 22.04, but I'm getting an error when I try to go to the website. I get a 500 Internal Server Error. I posted the error logs down below. If I run the __init__.py file directly with python3 __init__.py, it works. However with systemctl start apache2, it gives the error.
The file structure:
Flaskapp/Flaskapp/

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, so someone, please help.

Why generate 'Target WSGI script '/home/service/was/test/test_app.wsgi' cannot be loaded as Python module.' message?
Why do not import python module installed by pip?

Running Flask application from virtual environment

I have a simple flask app that i want to be accessible from internet.
OS is debian7, and unfortunately it can't be changed.
What I did:
- downloaded and installed Python3.4 into /usr/local/opt/python3.4.3
- installed wsgi lib for py3
- installed virtualenv and created new env in my flask project folder
- installed flask together with some other packages that I need within this env
- created VirtualHost as follows:
cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/Monitor
Listen 8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
ServerName {ip address}
ServerAdmin {my email}
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/Monitor/monitor.wsgi
<Directory /var/www/Monitor/Monitor/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Alias /static /var/www/Monitor/Monitor/static

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
now when i try to access the app from the internet I see these errors in error.log

[Sat Nov 14 22:16:04 2015] [error] [client ip] SyntaxError: invalid syntax
From what I could find in the internet, such errors appear when trying to start flask app with python version <= 3.3, which is not my case I think (how do i check?)
here is my wsgi that starts the app
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
PROJECT_DIR = '/var/www/Monitor/'
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_DIR)
def execfile(filename):
globals = dict(__file__ = filename)
exec(open(filename).read(), globals)
activate_this = '/var/www/Monitor/Monitor/venv/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this)
from Monitor import app as application
Any help would be very much appreciated. Any additional information will be supplied if necessary.
Default Python3 on Debian 7 is 3.2.3, libapache2-mod-wsgi is in version 3.3.
You Apache run Your app with default Python because mod-wsgi has to be compiled against one and only one python version (in this case python 3.3).
mod-wsgi 3.3
If You want to run only one app (or many apps) with Python 3.4, try to recompile mod-wsgi with python 3.4
mod-wsgi 4.1.x or newer
This newer version of mod_wsgi provides a way of installing mod_wsgi against multiple Python versions and running up an Apache instance for each using a provided script. The script takes over all the setup of the Apache configuration so you do not need to worry about it.

old answer
To change Python version, set in Apache conf:
WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/opt/python3.4.3/
WSGIPythonPath /var/www/Monitor:/var/www/Monitor/Monitor/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages:/usr/local/opt/python3.4.3/lib/site-packages
