Comment:
There is a reason to try to avoid overwriting the environment variable -
there are quite a few use cases where you might want to set the
environment variable yourself externally, if you are using multiple
different settings files in your project (a common practice). The value
hardcoded in the wsgi file is intended only as a fallback default. In
general, hardcoded values should not override values set explicitly in the
environment.
Running multiple different Django sites in the same process under
preforked Apache is an edge case, and it's easy enough to change the
default wsgi file in your project (or use SetEnv in the virtualhost) if
you are in that situation.
