(taken from a Trac wiki page; stuff below these two paragraphs is the actual script)
In general, needs Apache 2.0+, mod_wsgi 2.3+, Python 2.5+, MySQL 5.0+. Also needs some Bash stuff for virtualenvwrapper to correctly put stuff into /opt/envs and for some aliases/non-sudo commands used below -- see Jeff's dotfile Github repo for the .bashrc.

Might need attached mod-wsgi .deb if version in APT is not 2.3
