A followup on virtualenv 1.3. Do not use the 'activate_this.py' script provided in virtualenv 1.3 with mod_wsgi. This is because the script changes sys.prefix.
This may cause problems in mod_wsgi as the intention is only to add directories related to additional site-packages directory in virtual environment, not change the whole of Python to point at the virtual environment. Thus, if not able to use WSGIPythonPath or python-path option, continue to use site.addsitedir() for now as documented in: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments Graham 2008/9/26 Graham Dumpleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > 2008/9/26 Graham Dumpleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> Looks like virtualenv 1.3 has just come out. >> >> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv >> >> I note though that documentation now no longer mentions using >> site.addsitedir() to make use of virtual environment with mod_python >> and mod_wsgi.
