Using '/tmp' as the Python egg cache is actually not a good idea. This is because you can't control who puts what in there and with what permissions. This can cause errors if someone else has created something in there with a conflicting name. Worse is that someone else with access to that machine could put a modified version of an unpacked Python egg in that directory which your application would use and which did things like steal passwords and other account information from your application. You should always create a dedicated directory for the Python egg cache for use by Apache when using mod_python or embedded mode of mod_wsgi. Better still, use daemon mode of mod_wsgi and run your code as a specific user with its own home directory where it can store the cache.
