Setting up mod_python, when I put in PythonPath="['/usr/local/django/devel'].sys.path" , I get :

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch

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

However....with ['/usr/local/django/']+sys.path it works fine......

There is no bug here. The first thing you tried is not valid Python syntax and the second version is. The documentation uses an example very similar to the second version, too.

Sorry, reopening. My mistake on the first syntax. Copied incorrectly.

"usr/local/django/devel+sys.path" (no good)

vs

"usr/local/django/+sys.path" (ok)
