Install flask in virtual env with python 3

Question

I've created a document for setting up Flask using a virtual environment on webfaction. I would be glad for feedback or any way to make it better.

Notice the one hack I added. Anyone have a way around it?

You don't need to use activate_this.py in your application.

The correct way to use a virtualenv with mod_wsgi is to set WSGIPythonHome in your httpd.conf, like this:

WSGIPythonHome /home/username/.virtualenvs/my_app

I thought that would work, but it doesn't for me. I get a Gateway timeout error when I use it.

That shouldn't happen. Feel free to open a support ticket if you'd like us to take a look.
