Python/Django -> Gunicorn error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '<project directory>'

I'm trying to deploy a django application with Gunicorn and Nginx on Ubuntu server, but I'm getting this "ModuleNotFoundError". Can anyone help me out with this, please?

The files

gunicorn_myproject.socket

[Unit]
Description=myproject socket

[Socket]
ListenStream=/run/gunicorn_myproject.sock

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

gunicorn_myproject.service

[Unit]
Description=myproject daemon
Requires=gunicorn_myproject.socket
After=network.target

[Service]
User=myuser
Group=www-data
WorkingDirectory=/home/myuser/github/myproject
ExecStart=/home/myuser/github/venvs/myproject/bin/gunicorn \
          --access-logfile - \
          --workers 5 \
          --bind unix:/run/gunicorn_myproject.sock \
          /home/myuser/github/myproject/MyProject.wsgi:application

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

The error log:

When I run sudo systemctl start gunicorn.socket then sudo systemctl status gunicorn.socket:

● gunicorn_myproject.socket - myproject socket
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/gunicorn_myproject.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (listening) since Tue 2023-01-31 18:43:11 -03; 1s ago
   Triggers: ● gunicorn_myproject.service

     CGroup: /system.slice/gunicorn_myproject.socket

Nothing wrong yet, so then I run curl --unix-socket /run/gunicorn_myproject.sock localhost and get:

curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

Then I run sudo systemctl status gunicorn.service aaaand:

● gunicorn_myproject.service - myproject daemon

I tried installing on another folder, with another user, recreate the gunicorn.socket and gunicor.service files, but to no success.

I don't know what more should I do. Any help, please?
