Use python-home in WSGI daemon installation documentation

[Avi]

Here: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/#using-mod-wsgi-daemon-mode

The example should be:

WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-home=/path/to/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages python-path=/path/to/mysite.com
WSGIProcessGroup example.com

And... it can be also python3.5

Could you explain why the change is needed? Is this dependent on the mod_wsgi version or something? I'm just skeptical the documentation has been incorrect since it was added in 2011 (145a77edc999fd5f1a53bc5bfd6b581386950074).

The python-home directive was added in ​http://modwsgi.readthedocs.io/en/develop/release-notes/version-3.4.html (August 2012).

Quoting the modwsgi docs for the python-path directive:
If using a Python virtual environment, rather than use this option to refer to the site-packages directory of the Python virtual environment, you should use the python-home option to specify the root of the Python virtual environment instead.

So the correct line should be:
WSGIDaemonProcess example.com python-home=/path/to/venv python-path=/path/to/mysite.com
