@Jorge You have the right idea about adding the path to PythonPath in your Apache config, but you may have the configuration slightly wrong. What is the exact Apache/Django config? You probably want something like:

PythonPath "['/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages'] + sys.path"

This would go in the section of your Apache conf where you have configured your Django project.

Or it could be that your mod_python module is using a different installed version of Python (different to what you use from the shell).

Hi, xlwt module work very in my django application while it has in development server; but when install in a production server with apache-modpython, the reference to : 'import xlwt ', fire the debug error "No module named xlwt..."

If i run the python shell, the import xlwt command works fine.

In the apache location, in my pythonpath i add the directory where is found ('/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xlwt') but .....not work

Solutions?, thanks in advance.

Thank you! This couldn’t have come at a better time.

Another improvement would be to add a headings variable with all or some columns needed so you can pull the information you want from values_list() and insert a heading row for the excel sheet.
