<h1>mod_wsgi<a class="headerlink" href="#mod-wsgi" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>The mod_wsgi package implements a simple to use Apache module which can
host any Python web application which supports the Python <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3333/">WSGI</a>
specification. The package can be installed in two different ways
depending on your requirements.</p>
<p>The first is as a traditional Apache module installed into an existing
Apache installation. Following this path you will need to manually
configure Apache to load mod_wsgi and pass through web requests to your
WSGI application.</p>
<p>The second way of installing mod_wsgi is to install it from <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mod_wsgi">PyPi</a> using the
Python <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> command. This builds and installs mod_wsgi into your Python
installation or virtual environment. The program <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mod_wsgi-express</span></code> will
then be available, allowing you to run up Apache with mod_wsgi from the
command line with an automatically generated configuration. This
approach does not require you to perform any configuration of Apache
yourself.</p>
<p>Both installation types are suitable for production deployments. The latter
approach using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mod_wsgi-express</span></code> is the best solution if wishing to use
Apache and mod_wsgi within a Docker container to host your WSGI application.
It is also a better choice when using mod_wsgi during the development of
your Python web application as you will be able to run it directly from
your terminal.</p>
