enable-wsgi_mod-python37-apache

A simple Ansible script compiling Python 3.7.3 with mod_wsgi and configuring it in Apache

Big thanks to Graham Dumpleton and his project https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi. Feel free to share or modify it as you need. You might want to update Python version or wsgi_module variable to newer version once they become available.

Requirements

• Centos / RedHat distro with sudo rights
• Ansible

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install ansible

Installation

Simply run ansible playbook install.yaml. Please note the installation stops if Python version 3.7.3 is installed already.

ansible-playbook ./install.yaml

Uninstall

Remove all softlinks, folders and files created, restart Apache

Post-install check

To make sure the mod_wsgi is loaded, check the HTTP header Server. Assuming your webserver runs at port 80

curl -s -I -X GET http://localhost | grep "Server:"

the output should contain wsgi_mod/ and Python/ with proper versions.

Server: Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS) mod_wsgi/4.6.5 Python/3.7 PHP/7.2.20

TO DO List

1. Pre install check validates only if Python 3.7.3 is installed, but does not check mod_wsgi version
2. Limited OS support. PR welcome :)
3. No ansible playbook for uninstall
