Alex ...
You're not going to be able to trick your host into loading mod_wsgi from an
.htaccess file -- Apache doesn't allow the load directives in .htaccess
files.
While mod_python is not supported, and it has a large number of open issues,
there aren't any specific security holes you really need to worry about; I'm
using mod_python on a project at work because mod_wsgi isn't supported in
our deployment environment. I wouldn't recommend mod_python as the
direction for all future work, but it will get the job done until you can
get mod_wsgi deployed with your host (or move to another host).
See my earlier post from today (look for Re: running projects on the back of
a base URL and having issues with the homepage) for more details about
making mod_wsgi work with VirtualEnv. The apache script for mod_python is
similar to the one I posted earlier ; the only differences involve making
certain that you chdir to your project directory, and that you import the
Django mod_python handler.
The mod_python configuration is significantly different from the mod_wsgi
configuration, and look like this:
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonPath "[ '/data/web/foo/apache', ] + sys.path"
PythonHandler django_mp
PythonInterpreter foo
</Location>
Alias /static/ /data/web/foo/site/foo/static/
<Location /static/>
SetHandler None
</Location>
In this case, mp_python represents /data/web/foo/apache/mp_python.py, which
is my script to deal with configuring the VirtualEnv environment and then
starting the Django mod_python handler. It's basically an amalgam of the
VirtualEnv activate_this.py script, and the mod_python startup script from
the Django documentation.
