You can't do that.
No, it's the other way around. The files are in the chroot dir, with symlinks from outside the chroot pointing in, so that python running outside the chroot sees the same paths as python running inside the chroot. Apache chroots itself during startup, based on a 'Chroot /webroot' line in the apache2.conf. Follow up: While composing this email, I reread the wiki/InstallationIssues page, and tried setting the PATH explicitly for Apache; that *seems* to have resolved the problem. Thank you, Graham, for a great product, and extensive documentation.
