python-wsgi

Ansible role to install WSGI by compiling with a custom Python version.

Django case

In order to deploy a Python 3 Django 1.8+ project to the above setup, WSGI will not respect the python version specified in virtualenv unless WSGI is compiled with the same Python version.

Otherwise, looking into the error traceback will reveal that the Python running will be the default and not 3.4+. It is [possible to provide] to WSGI a different Python executable only if WSGI is [compiled with the correct Python].

Add the role python-wsgi to install WSGI.

Variables

• wsgi_src: Directory where to download wsgi, default: ~/mod_wsgi_src
• wsgi_ver: The wsgi version to install, default: 4.4.21
• python_version: The python version to install (major.minor), default: 3.5
