Apache + Django ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'project'

I'm having an issue with hosting my Django project with Apache on Windows. The website shows Internal Server Error and I'm getting the following stacktrace after visiting it:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'project'\r

vi_backend is the project root, it contains manage.py etc. Within that folder we have "venv" (virtual environment) and "project" which contains wsgi.py.

Not sure why it is saying there's no module project, as project is not a module.
