Dear All The nginx/fastcgi set up is now working (there's an easy-to-follow howto on the django advent site [1]).
Embarrasingly I may have stumbled upon what was getting me 403s with mod_wsgi, and it's nothing to do with apache or mod_wsgi. After setting up nginx with fastcgi I got the same 403. Although the "mysite" directory and everything under it had permissive permissions, the user's home directory was 700: /home/siteuser/mysite/ 775 /home/siteuser/ 700 I changed the latter to 775 to and everything went smoothly. I didn't test it but apache/mod_wsgi will probably work too now. Doh! @Tom thanks for your suggestion. When I used to use apache (LOL) I would generally have the django app outside of DocumentRoot. I think changing permissions as above would fix things. Otherwise I don't see why an apache config set up that works on ubuntu would raise 403s on centos (just checked: on the ubuntu machine /home/siteuser/ was 775).
