Description
When you use Django with Apache and mod_wsgi (as described here) and when your application uses PostgreSQL with psycopg2 sometimes you get error ProgrammingError: can't adapt type 'Decimal'.
Here and here is decision. I guess it would be nice to read about this error and ways to solve it in Django documentation rather than use Google.
Thanks.

This was fixed in psycopg 2.4.3 (ticket #52).

There may be a useful tidbit Django could share here, but I'd like to see any potential patch have an explanation of why either the
process_groupdirective or daemon mode setting prevent this Decimal value from being passed in erroneously. Moreover, the threads linked recommend upgrading psycopg2 and mod_wsgi; is there some minimum version required for this fix to work? Simply saying "if you're getting this error then do this" doesn't seem like enough to me.
