If you compile mod_wsgi with Apache you are stuck on the version of Python
you compiled with. I had an old server stuck on Python 2.5 for this reason
but I finally got a new box where I will be stuck on Python 2.7 for a
while. There's probably a better way with gunicorn or something but Apache
is pretty sweet when you configure it right.

btw, tox is great for developing a project that supports multiple Pythons:
