Hello, I use mod_wsgi to run processes and not mod_python.
WSGIDaemonProcess p1 threads=25 python-path=/opt/appengine/google_appengine:/opt/appengine/google_appengine/lib/django:/opt/appengine/google_appengine/lib/webob:/opt/appengine/google_appengine/lib/yaml/lib WSGIProcessGroup p1 WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/application/rep/handler.wsgi I already used the directive WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL} to run un the main interpreter context but the issue persists after executing apache graceful or reload.
