Using Django with mod_wsgi

When you use Django with mod_wsgi, what exactly happens when a user makes a request to the server from a browser? Does apache load up your Django app when it starts and have it running in a separate process? Does it create a new Python process for every HTTP request?

In embedded mode, the Django app is part of the httpd worker. In daemon mode, the Django app is a separate process and the httpd worker communicates with it over a socket. In either case, the WSGI interface is the same.
