Hi Graham, Thanks for your quick response. We're just trying to share configuration variables across multiple projects/coding languages and environment variables are a convenient way to do that. Sounds like adding variables to os.environ is the best option. Is it technically feasible for mod_wsgi to source the daemon process user's environment on startup? Why wouldn't that behavior be desirable?
