Hi Graham

Thank you very much, that worked a treat.  Thank you for the very  
prompt response.

BTW. I am not clear on why I would use a WSGI capable applciation as  
opposed to what mod_python offers.  Can you point me in the direction  
of something I can read on the differences and why mod_wsgi may in  
fact be better (I am going to be building my application on Django)?

Thanks,
Matt
