It appears that this has something to do with this recent change, as indicated in 1.9 release notes:

    django.http.responses.REASON_PHRASES and django.core.handlers.wsgi.STATUS_CODE_TEXT have been removed. Use Python’s stdlib instead: http.client.responses for Python 3 and httplib.responses for Python 2.

But in django/core/handlers/wsgi.py https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.9.x/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py#L181 it clearly uses it:

{{{
status = '%s %s' % (response.status_code, response.reason_phrase)
}}}

This prevents Django 1.9 to be deployed in wsgi."	Bug	closed	Core (Other)	1.9	Normal	invalid			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
