Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about When psycopg2 Can't Import tz, here is a quick summary:

This is a very short post, placed as a warning sign to the poor souls who encounter this problem and are confused by it. Mainly myself, since I have solved it at least twice without remembering what the problem was.

If using mod_wsgi and embedded mode, you can also use WSGIPythonEggs directive. See:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIPythonEggs

If using mod_wsgi and daemon mode, you can also use 'python-eggs' option to WSGIDaemonProcess directive. See:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess

If using daemon mode, if you set the 'user' option to the name of a real account with writable home directory for that user, then it should also work without any configuration needed. This is because in daemon mode mod_wsgi ensures $HOME is set correctly and so Python egg cache location is calculated correctly.
