I saw this, too, but worried that it would still require apache to have
mod_fastcgi installed. Otherwise, how would apache know what to do with

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

in the .htaccess file? If it is indeed possible to do this, I would be
interested in hearing from someone who has done it. How did you do the
local install of Django? And how did you set up the paths and site
settings?

Yes, that was the Plan B that I have been looking into. I'm pleased to
see that it coincides with your recommendation :-).
