James,

Won't that prevent Django from creating *.pyc files from the
deployed *.py files?  Or do you suggest deploying *.pyc files?

Oh, yep, you're right. It was 1:30am and I was in PHP mode in my head (I'm not getting kicked off the list for mentioning that word, right? ;-D). I believe that means that the Apache user needs write access to the project folders (to create the .pyc files), but still only needs read access to the .py files. I believe that you can tweak the write access to the .pyc files and parent folders after they have been generated by mod_wsgi/Apache. You can also do a deployment just using just the .pyc files, if I remember correctly. 

Thanks for the double-check.
