wsgi.py script need to add project path to sys.path

[medhat.gayed@…]

In Django 1.4, the default wsgi.py script should append the project path to sys.path in order for the apache wsgi process to be able to import from the project apps.

Something along these lines:

import sys

path = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(__file__, '..', '..'))

if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

AFAIK the new WSGI script was precisely introduced to eliminate such sys.path hacks.

There's probably a problem with your PYTHONPATH and/or the way you import your project apps.

Here are the recommended support channels.

Some WSGI servers (Apache/mod_wsgi in particular) do still require you to explicitly add the path, but that should be done via your Apache configuration using the WsgiPythonPath directive. The documentation on using Django with mod_wsgi includes this.

Thank you so much carljm, your comment was very enlightening to me.
