I'm creating a web app with Django. Since I'm very familiar with Apache I setup my development environment to have Django run through Apache using mod_wsgi. The only annoyance I have with this is that I have to restart Apache everytime I change my code. Is there a way around this?

A:
mod_wsgi is great for production but I think the included server is better for development.
Anyway you should read this about automatic reloading of source code.

And for a Django slant on it, also read 'http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2008/12/using-modwsgi-when-developing-django.html' and 'http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/02/source-code-reloading-with-modwsgi-on.html'.

I feel like this is really just one of those things most people deal with. It's really not that big of a deal. I made a bash script to make this as easy as possible. I name it 'ra' (reload apache) so it's short and quick. The following works for most apache installs (on UNIX-based systems):
#!/bin/bash
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
You could probably use some kind of tool to bind this to a key shortcut/foot pedeal/cron.
