Installation documentation should avoid sys.path.append
Using Apache's mod_wsgi implementation (and I'm sure some others), there are cases where sys.path.append will add redundant items to the system path. The mod_wsgi documentation requests that, instead, developers use the following in order to avoid these redundancies:
import sys
path = '/usr/local/wsgi/modules'
if path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(path)

Agreed, the documentation should follow mod_wsgi best practices here.
The patch just contains the appropriate changes to the WSGI application without explanation. I'm not entirely sure whether a footnote is required or not.
