sys path not set in wsgi.py

[carrie.hazelton@…]

In reference to the wsgi.py example provided in Authenticating against Django’s user database from Apache for Django v1.6:

I encountered an error when trying to enable the django authentication with Apache and wsgi. The error stated that it couldn't find mysite.settings. I searched around online and some folks suggested setting the system path:

sys.path.append(<mysite.com directory path>)

Thankfully, it resolved the issue. I noticed in the wsgi.py example code in the documentation that there is an import sys statement, but the library doesn't appear to be used. Is there a missing sys.path.append statement in the documentation?

I believe we should mention WSGIPythonPath in the first code block and remove the unused sys import.
