Hi Graham,

Yes when I created the BASELINE I used --no-site-packages.

I ran a test as described in the docs with WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/
pythonenv/BASELINE

but it still shows sys.prefix = /usr

I also checked /etc/apache2/envvars and there is nothing in there that
sets the PYTHONPATH

Any other thoughts on what else I can check?

Thanks,
Paddy
