    9 embeds Python within Apache and loads Python code into memory when the server 
    10 starts. Code stays in memory throughout the life of an Apache process, which 
    11 leads to significant performance gains over other server arrangements.

    1314To configure Django with mod_python, first make sure you have Apache installed, 
    …… 
    2627in dotted-package syntax.

     29This tells Apache: "Use mod_python for any URL at or under '/mysite/', using the 
     30Django mod_python handler." It passes the value of ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`` 
     31so mod_python knows which settings to use. 
     32 
     33Also, if you've manually altered your ``PYTHONPATH`` to put your Django project 
     34on it, you'll need to tell mod_python:: 
     35 
     36    PythonPath "['/path/to/project'] + sys.path" 
     37 
     38You can also add directives such as ``PythonAutoReload Off`` for performance. 
     39See the `mod_python documentation`_ for a full list of options.

    2841Restart Apache, and any request to /mysite/ or below will be served by Django. 
    2942Note that Django's URLconfs won't trim the "/mysite/" -- they get passed the 
    3043full URL.

     45When deploying Django sites on mod_python, you'll need to restart Apache each 
     46time you make changes to your Python code.
