Documentation is wrong. I recollect noting that at some point when
doing mod_wsgi.

So this is all perhaps made more flexible in future, have logged the issue:

  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-227

A workaround you can use for now is to arrange for the environment variable:

  PYTHONOPTIMIZE=1

to be set and exported in the environment of the user that Apache is
initially started.
