4296	PYTHONPATH in mod_python documentation confuses almost everybody	anonymous	Jacob	"http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/

It says:

PythonPath ""['/path/to/project'] + sys.path""

But if you SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE project.settings, it throws this error:

EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'project.settings-vatle.midgard' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named project.settings-vatle.midgard

The docs should say that the PythonPath should be the path to the parent dir of your project.

I don't know if this makes much sense, I'm new to django and python. It caused me some head-aches, but someone very helpful at #django pointed me in the right directon.

Thanks for all the great work!
