Your problems are not really caused by mod_wsgi although it does trigger it. The real problem derives from the fact that on RHEL the version of Python they provide does not include a shared library, or it isn't installed in the correct location to be found when compiling. This causes problems if loading both mod_python and mod_wsgi together even if both are compiled against the same library as an actual copy of the library has had to be embedded in both Apache modules meaning there are two copies on memory. This shortcoming of Linux distributions such as those from RedHat are described in the README file and web documentation for mod_wsgi. As the documentation says, the Python distributions need to be rebuilt so they provide a shared library. For further information see: http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationIssues In other words, provided that mod_python and mod_wsgi both use a Python shared library they can coexist. If for some reason you can't rebuild your Python distribution, then as documented one can build mod_wsgi but without linking it to Python, so that it uses the version that is embedded within mod_python.
