Because if you install your project, modwsgi will say: Import myapp If you installed the project aka you put it in site-packages it will try to import the file from site-packages folder. Since apache needs its user be the owner of the myapp, then that means your site package needs to be also owned by apache user. I think on linux the site-package folder is owned by root. Another issue is that you might have 2 versions. One installed in site-packages and another one that you think its running from. Does that answer your question.
