That makes absolutely no difference. Have you been able to run that
example script? They're using wsgi.simple_server, of course, but you
could start by removing that part and configuring mod_wsgi to run your
WSGI script. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833766 could be
helpful, search the web for howtos on mod_wsgi to get started.

Once you have your web server running the WSGI code, the rest should be
trivial.
