Django Gunicorn workers won't load

I have a Django app that I am trying to set up on a Ubunutu VPS with Gunicorn and I am facing a startup error gunicorn project:application -b myip:8000

. Here's the result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/project/env/bin/gunicorn", line 11, in <module>
sys.exit(run())
File "/home/user/project/env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gunicorn/app/wsgiapp.py", line 74, in run

I have installed Gunicorn with pip install gunicorn

a virtual environment. wsgi.py is present and includes the WSGI application, "application". I can't figure out what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
