If using mod_python, the Apache LimitRequestBody directive doesn't
work entirely properly. See:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-240
End result is that instead of returning an 413 error, it suffers a
failure and generates a 500 error instead.
If using mod_wsgi however it will do the correct thing and return a
413 response. Because this check is done before the WSGI application
is even called, the Apache error page responses are used. If however
you have specified ErrorDocument directive for a 413 error to direct
to Django, you could instead have Django produce just the error page
at least.
So, another reason to use mod_wsgi over mod_python. :-)
