Python 3 and mod_wsgi

[John.Florian@xxxxxxxx]

I naively ported my Django app to Python
3 and didn't realize WSGI was going to be an issue.  I saw python3-django
was available for Fedora 20 and thought I was all set until I saw in my
httpd logs that python2.7 seems to be the assumed default for mod_wsgi.
 After reading the README and more, I see the writing on the wall:

"""
If you have multiple versions of Python
installed and you are not using
that which is the default, you may have
to organise that the PATH inherited
by the Apache application when run will
result in Apache finding the
alternate version. Alternatively, the
WSGIPythonHome directive should
be used to specify the exact location
of the Python installation
corresponding to the version of Python
compiled against. If this is not
done, the version of Python running
within Apache may attempt to use the
Python modules from the wrong version
of Python.
"""

I take this to mean that merely fiddling
with WSGIPythonHome alone will be insufficient and that I would need to
recompile the package.  Is that correct, or did I miss a Python3-specific
mod_wsgi package or some other neater solution?  If I am truly forced
to recompile -- as reversing the Python 3 is really undesirable at this
point -- is there any reason Fedora couldn't have two mod_wsgi packages
(one for Python2 and another for Python3)?
