mod_wsgi + python 2.7.5 import error

Question

I have installed and probably right configurated apache2, mod_wsgi and python 2.7.5. The problem is that 127.0.0.1 is not opening (loading is just freezed) and I see following log in error.log:

    [Wed Jun 19 14:49:11 2013] [notice] Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) mod_wsgi/3.4 Python/2.7.3 configured -- resuming normal operations

    known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sre_constants.py", line 18, in <module>
    from _sre import MAXREPEAT

Tried to restart apache, but it's not working. Thanks for any help!

There is still possibly something wrong with your setup. You should go through the checks in code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/CheckingYourInstallation to verify which Python library mod_wsgi.so is linked against. Looks like you are mixing Python installations, which is bad. — Graham Dumpleton

I think it's not okay, but I have following python dirs: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/ and /usr/lib/python2.7/.'ldd mod_wsgi.so' — Tony Pershin

Damned enter :). Command 'ldd mod_wsgi.so' prints that python lib is /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0. Besides there is no similar python lib in /usr/local/lib/. I think that's why I had troubles. — Tony Pershin

Just found solution. I checked 'sys.prefix' in my python's interpretator and it printed '/usr/local', but I had not set WSGIPythonHome in apache config (as written in mod_wsgi docs for this case). And just for experiment I set 'WSGIPythonHome /usr'. It's strange, but it resolves my problem, everything is fine now!
