Thanks Diez. I finally got it to work, deploying as an egg. I didn't do anything to setup.py, outside of package files modification. This type of deployment is fine and seems to work well. I did have some major issues with mod_wsgi on OS X. Not mod_wsgi issue per say, more of a python 2.6.5 issue (http://bit.ly/9kRbOn).
As far as JBoss, maybe, I never used it and no one really uses it any more (at least anyone in the know :-). Standard war containers is all you need and the deployment model is pretty much drop a war file here and you're done. I'm sure the same can be done with mod_wsgi, by embedding the wsgi script and production.ini in the egg. Thanks. Ilya On Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 3:06 AM, Diez B.
