Thanks Karen

I had caught the PythonPath issue after sending the post. Here's what
worked:

<Location "/hwsw2/">
    PythonPath "['/usr/local/apache2/htdocs'] + sys.path"
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE hwsw2.settings
    PythonDebug On
