I have a django site within virtual environment that uses Python 2.6 installed with Ubuntu. But my django application needs Python 2.7.

I found, that I have to recompile my wsgi for another Python version using --with-python option as described at http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationIssues#Multiple_Python_Versions

But I wonder if this will be the global wsgi installation? Can I use wsgi+Python2.7 only for specific virtual environment? I would not like to affect other applications on the server.

    Yes, this would affect the global instalation, that is, apache+modwsgi. I don’t use apache+modwsgi, but if it is possible to modwsgi to dynamically change the python interpreter (which I doubt it is), this would be a better solution for you.

    Another way could be: Check if modwsgi can be configured to be aware of a virtualenv, so it will use the python interpreter of this env, which also I think maybe is not possible because it seems that the python lib is linked into modwsgi library.

    Have you considered using other solutions to run your django app?

    in both oy run your app as a separated process, and then you can truly use a virtualenv and choose wich python version it will use.
