Comment (by grahamd):
Not all Apache distributions have a envvars file. This is especially the
case with Linux distributions which ignore the Apache Software Foundation
(ASF) installation layout and use their own. Don't think Windows has it
either, or whether they use same way of setting it anyway.
Whether one could set LANG or LC_LANG using os.environ in a WSGI script
file for mod_wsgi would depend on whether they actually need to be seen
during Python initialisation or only when files are first loaded by or for
Django.
If they must be set before Python is initialised then it may be better to
have a configuration directive for mod_wsgi can set it. This does get
tricky though as embedded mode of mod_wsgi shares processes with other
Apache modules, eg., PHP, so it can be anti social to be overriding
these. Also, different Django instances running in different daemon mode
processes may need different language settings and so setting it once
before Python initialised may not work anyway so definitely need a
different way.
Thus, how does LANG and LC_LANG come into play? For mod_wsgi at least,
can't they just be set using os.environ in the start of the WSGI script
before Django is loaded?
Can more detail about the original problem being addressed perhaps be
added here so can suggest what would be the best approach to getting
around it.
