Graham,

Thanks for your help on this, finally got to the bottom of it.

I had set WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/pythonenv/BASELINE in the file /
etc/apache2/mods-available/wsgi.conf so it wasn't being picked up by
apache.

Moving it to /etc/apache2/conf.d resolved the issue and I'm now seeing
the correct path and prefix.
