Im getting an error at line 8 that it cant import the VersusGameFactory because
exceptions.ImportError: No module named gameserver.server_main

however I can launch it via terminal no problem

Why do you want to run the plugin from within django?

In production you would probably deploy the two as separate commands right?

well I have the django api, models and permissions set. When the api is called to create a game a port with the tcp server will open a game for the users and when the game is finished close it.
