django under apache / mod_fcgid
This recipe uses a modified version of Robin Dunn's fcgi.py module that adapts fcgi to wsgi and lets you run Django under mod_fcgid. One good thing about mod_fcgid is that it does all process management for you, which makes this setup quite straightforward. Also, since Robin's module works both in a cgi and fcgi context, switching a django site between cgi and fastcgi is a one-liner in the apache config, without any changes to python code or django config. CGI may be handy for development, since it loads all code (including changed code) on every request, yet lets you work in an environment that resembles production. Apache configuration examples are found in the comment at the beginning of the python module.
