May be this is simple enough (if I understand your problem correctly ;) 1. Don't add myapp_* to site-packages at all. Instead keep them in two directory roots say /home/apps/prod and /home/apps/preprod. Similarly, you can have two different settings files for the two environments. 2. In your Apache vhost config for myapp.com:80, add /home/apps/prod to the PYTHONPATH setting. And, for myapp.com:8080, add /home/apps/ preprod.
