I seem to keep going around in circles :(.

I have to use MacPython 2.6 so that MySQLdb will compile properly.
But I can't seem to create a workable mod_wsgi with a Python updated
from the system version.

The wiki implies that that MacPython will peacefully co-exist with the
System Python, which is not true.  The Apple Python is stored in /
System/Library/Frameworks and the python.org installer puts the
upgraded Python (2.6) in /Library/Frameworks/.

The wiki also states the using the WSGI directive to set the Python
Home cannot span a major version number.  So, I built mod_wsgi with
the updated Python.  I inspected the Makefile and it appears to have
been built properly (according to the wiki).

To "avoid" the Python mismatch error, I tried to set the PythonHome
with the results as listed in the previous post (the PyExc_Runtime
error).

I tried another approach as suggested in the wiki to set the ENVVARS.
I set the PATH to the bin directory of the updated Python (as stated
above).  When I install and then restart Apache, I get the following
error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 164 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so into server: dlopen(/usr/
libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so, 10): Symbol not found: _PyExc_RuntimeError
\n  Referenced from: /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_wsgi.so\n  Expected in:
dynamic lookup\n
