Unescape Python Strings From HTTP
I am pretty sure that urllib’s unquote is the common way of doing this. >>> import urllib >>> urllib.unquote(“myemail%40gmail.com”) ‘myemail@gmail.com’ There’s also unquote_plus: Like unquote(), but also replaces plus signs by spaces, as required for unquoting HTML form values.

Finally, do not set DocumentRoot to be where your Django code is as it makes it easier to … Read more

Target WSGI script cannot be loaded as Python module
For me the problem was wsgi python version mismatch. I was using python 3, so: $ sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-wsgi $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 Warning from @alxs before you copy/paste these commands: If there are python 2 projects running on the server that use wsgi and apache, the above commands will effectively shut … Read more
Django stops working with RuntimeError: populate() isn’t reentrant
This is caused by a bug in your Django settings somewhere. Unfortunately, Django’s hiding the bug behind this generic and un-useful error message. To reveal the true problem, open django/apps/registry.py and around line 80, replace: raise RuntimeError(“populate() isn’t reentrant”) with: self.app_configs = {} This will allow Django to continue loading, and reveal the actual error. … Read more
