Django running wrong version

Although running "python" from the shell runs Python v2.7, Django is loading files for python2.4, as shown in the error when I load a django site:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython"

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 287, in HandlerDispatch log=debug)

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 461, in import_module f, p, d = imp.find_module(parts[i], path)

ImportError: No module named django

I think Django is installed for version 2.7 and that's why the bottom says "No module named django"

This is my first django install (it's on a mediatemple DV server) so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm doing something stupid. Thanks!

Apparently python resolves to /usr/lib/python2.4. You'll need to make sure python resolves to wherever you've got Python 2.7 installed by adjusting your system path. - Dominic Rodger
@Dominic: mod_python doesn't care where python points or what version it is. - Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams

mod_python is built for 2.4, but Django is installed for 2.7. Either build mod_python for 2.7, install Django under 2.4, or put a local copy of Django with your project so that the version of Python doesn't matter.
