Pandas + Django + mod_wsgi + virtualenv

Pandas is producing 'module' object has no attribute 'core' when being imported under django and mod_wsgi inside a virtual environment. It works fine running under the django development server inside the virtual environment.

Other modules e.g.: numpy have no problems so I assume this means the virtual environment is set up correctly with mod_wsgi. Any advice would be appreciated.

staging.wsgi

import os
import sys
import site

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
site_packages = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'env/openportfolio/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
site.addsitedir(os.path.abspath(site_packages))
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_ROOT)
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'openportfolio.settings_staging'

import pandas #triggers error
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Error

So it turns out this was a Python path order issue. By running sys.path.reverse() in my wsgi config file, the code now runs.

Due to the order of Python path, the built in OS X numpy library must have been imported first over the virtual environment one causing the issue.

'RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 6 but this version of numpy is 4' was the error line I missed in my original post which could have helped debug the answer.
