wow. thats totally my bad. Sorry graham that ive lead you on a chase on whats going wrong. I pretty much knew it was something I had done. Just not experienced enough to work it out. As it turned out, once i got past that little hurdle (which im pretty sure i introduced at some point) i got to what i think was the original issue which is that wsgi by default blocks sys.stdout. and I had some print statements for debugging what happened, and this was causing the internal server error.
thank you once again Graham for all your help. You have been tireless and very helpful with somebody who, in the end it turns out made some silly mistakes.
