dlib and django. how to integrate and import dlib into django

I am trying to use dlib in my django project. I am using aws ubuntu, but I was not able to use pip dlib, so I compiled directly according davisking instruction to use this PR https://github.com/davisking/dlib/pull/1040. So I was success to install compile dlib and install in my ubuntu.

Now is how to use dlib in django. I tried "import dlib" but its not recognized.

This is how I install dlib and last part of the execution.

$ python setup.py install
.....
.....
Processing dlib-19.8.99-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg
creating /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dlib-19.8.99-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    ... 
    'mapwidgets',
    'dlib',
]

but it came out with errors below. removing this it still does not recognize "import dlib"

Traceback (most recent call last):
