Uwsgi: “Cannot assign requested address”

Question

So I have a django project all set and ready to go, and then I attempted to start it using uwsgi via this command

# uwsgi --http :5000 --module myProject.wsgi

This then returns this error log

bind(): Cannot assign requested address [core/socket.c line 759]

After some googling it seems it has been said that this address is already in use, I have determined this is not the case for multiple reasons. The first of these reasons is that if I go into a python shell, I can bind 0.0.0.0:5000 manually with python. The other reason is that if I go netstat, port 5000 is NOT listed. Anything I can do here or am I SOL?
