Hi Robert, The "old" version breaks because it's now missing a key part of the Django startup sequence:
import django django.setup() This is something that was added in 1.7 as part of the app loading changes. So, to answer your questions directly: 1) You either need to use get_wsgi_application(), or you need to do the call to django.setup() yourself. 2/3) It's kinda documented... https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7/#app-loading-changes ... although from that it might not be obvious that this impacts the wsgi script as well. That sounds like it would be a worthwhile addition to the docs.
