Hi Éric,

I just want to mention on this list that it was mentioned on the MapFish
users list that mod_wsgi supports virtualenv environments natively.  In
a context where many Python-based apps require their own particular sets
of sometimes conflicting eggs, I think it becomes necessary that the
breadth of geospatial Python apps can easily be deployed in their own
Apache virtualenvs.
