Is graceful restart of Apache forcing to reload all python modules handled by mod_wsgi?

Question

If I want to be sure that all python modules are recompiled and reloaded in my Django project under mod_wsgi and Apache, is it enough to restart apache gracefully with:

/etc/init.d/apache graceful

or should I always do the full restart with

/etc/init.d/apache restart

?

Answer 1

Yes it should be as all processes are restarted.
