Apache/mod_wsgi can work with prefork, although daemon mode should be used to avoid problems due to PHP requirement of prefork causing adverse performance issues of Python web application. See:
http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/03/load-spikes-and-excessive-memory-usage.html If Ubuntu only has PHP for prefork and only has mod_wsgi for worker and enforces it, then you will need to compile mod_wsgi from source code. Technically same mod_wsgi.so should work for either prefork or worker MPM, but Ubuntu package manager may not like you mixing it if it has requirement on mod_wsgi that must have worker MPM. Anyway, get Apache loading both then not a problem to do it using separate virtual hosts like you intend.
