I've made good progress towards getting my flask wsgi application running. 
My application requires that I run as the user "ubuntu" (user 1000). So I 
modified my virtualhost as follows:


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    WSGIDaemonProcess localhost user=ubuntu group=ubuntu threads=15
    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/cwpmash/wsgi-scripts/cwpmash.wsgi
    DocumentRoot /var/www/cwpmash/public-html
    <Directory /var/www/cwpmash/public-html>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
    <Directory /var/www/cwpmash/wsgi-scripts>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Furthermore, The process requires that the DISPLAY environment variable is 
set to :0.0. For this reason I attempted to set the environment in my wsgi 
file:

import sys
import os
os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":0.0"
sys.path.insert(0, '/var/www/cwpmash')
activate_this = '/var/www/cwpmash/flask/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
from app import app as application
root@sensis-8930:/var/www/cwpmash/wsgi-scripts# cat cwpmash.wsgi
import sys
import os
os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":0.0"
sys.path.insert(0, '/var/www/cwpmash')
activate_this = '/var/www/cwpmash/flask/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
from app import app as application

This however does not seem to be achieving the required result as can be 
seen by the socket connect failure:
[Thu Sep 25 19:07:53.361998 2014] [:error] [pid 11958:tid 140421956523776] 
[client 
10.93.105.41:50344] ConnectionError: Could not connect to socket at ''


Is setting the environment as I've done above a reasonable (and correct) 
way of passing a critical environment variable into my application? Can you 
see something else that might be wrong in the way that I am attempting to 
configure this WSGI module? If I'd like to send diagnostics to error.log 
(just as mod_wsgi does), how can I do this? Should a simple "python print" 
be directed to the apache error log?
