What else is your Apache being used for? If it is being use for other stuff it may not be possible to tune Apache embedded in a way that is best for Python web application as that will be too detriment of other stuff you are hosting. So, are you hosting static media on same Apache or using a separate web server such as nginx for static media? Are you running PHP using mod_php on same Apache? Are you running anything else using any fastcgi/scgi/ajp hosting mechanisms? In short, unless that Apache is dedicated to just the Python web application, the trouble of trying to tune Apache for it is no worth the trouble and just better off using daemon mode thus allowing you to separately control things. BTW, depends a bit on what your site is doing, but using nginx proxy front end can be very advantageous as isolates Apache from slow clients allowing Apache processes/threads to be better utilised.
