If I ever come across a production system where a python app is not
installed in a virtualenv, I consider that a bug. virtualenv is the
basis of all of our python production systems (our dev systems too).

mod_python is old, insecure, unmaintained, unmanaged - and most
importantly - not supported for django.

Find the right person to talk to your in your org, tell them that
mod_python is dangerous, and that virtualenv is the industry standard
way of deploying a python application, and that wsgi is the industry
standard way of connecting a python web application to a web server.
