Hmmm, I'm not sure the documentation is actually accurate. When you use manage.py to run up development server for Django, it will automatically add the parent directory of where the manage.py file is located into sys.path for you. Thus, there isn't strictly a need to add it to PYTHONPATH to get it to work in the first place. So, the answer is that YES, for mod_python you must use the PythonPath directive to specify the parent directory of where manage.py is located in order for your settings file to be found correctly.
