#3842 closed (fixed)

Unclear wording in mod_python docs

Description

Seems like the below section should be removed and PythonPath "['/path/to/project'] + sys.path" should simply be appended to the <Location... apache directive under Basic Configuration.

I assume by PYTHONPATH an environment variable is meant (which does not exist under my bash env), but in order for apache/mod_python to see my project I did indeed have to add the below code directly within <Location...

Basic Configuration
...
Also, if you’ve manually altered your PYTHONPATH to put your Django project on it, you’ll need to tell mod_python:
PythonPath "['/path/to/project'] + sys.path"

Summary: incorrect wording in "How to use Django with mod_python" ? → Unclear wording in mod_python docs
Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Design decision needed

It would probably be more clear if that code example repeated the whole above <Location> code (would make for easier copy/pasting too ;))

This is a reasonable change. I've wondered about making it in the past.

#4110 is a duplicate. We should clarify the sys.path issue somehow
