Django code changes not reflecting on production server

I changed a .py file and changes reflected on local dev. server for Django after deleting .pyc. The production server does not even have .pyc for this specific file. Tried touching apache wsgi and restarting apache on prod. server but no luck. Even deleting this .py file makes application work the same. There is memcached installed but I don't have much idea how it caches, there is .git as well and 5 servers are hosting - one main, 4 load balancers.

Regards !

Sounds like the page is cached somewhere like a reverse proxy – Tarilo
Can you please elaborate and specify what I can try to clear the caches ? – Nikhil Khullar
I'm no sysadmin so I can't really help you with specifics – Tarilo

Are 100% sure you are looking at the right server you are making the changes to? I know that sounds stupid but, why don't you stop Apache, can you still run the page then? IF you can then you definitely don't have the correct server.

If not, next try reloading Apache (thats different from restarting).

sudo service apache2 reload

If this still does not work then post your Apache setup, if must be looking on the wrong folder to the one your pushing to.

You have to restart your server (WSGI, UWSGI or whatever your use on production environment)

If you use uwsgi as gateway set touch-reload param in uwsgi settings and you need just 

$ touch <your-touch-reload-file>

in console for reflecting on changes

If you use apache with mod_python or mod_wsgi, you have to restart apache for apply changes
