How do I set Django to use Python 2.7 instead of Python 2.4?

Question

I have installed Python 2.7 but still kept Python 2.4. When I enter the command python, it runs python 2.4 and I want to keep it this way. But how to I set Django to use /usr/local/bin/python2.7 when it runs?

[EDIT] It is running on Apache with WSGI

What web server are you running it in, and how is it configured? — Shane Madden, Dec 27 '11 at 04:04

Since you use WSGI, you should compile WSGI with a compile-flag to choose which python-version to use:

./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7

See here: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationIssues#Multiple_Python_Versions

Also make sure you reinstall any required packages using the new python version. – Wichert Akkerman Dec 27 '11 at 15:34
