Apache module modwsgi 3.3 on Ubuntu Lucid

A bit of library hell on Linux. I tried to install modwsgi on Ubuntu Lucid. I downloaded the Debian version. However,

root@virt251:/tmp# dpkg -i libapache2-mod-wsgi_3.3-2+b2_i386.deb 
...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libapache2-mod-wsgi:
 libapache2-mod-wsgi depends on libpython2.7 (>= 2.7); however:
  Package libpython2.7 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing libapache2-mod-wsgi (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libapache2-mod-wsgi

You cannot install Python 2.7 (easily, at least) on Lucid, but you can install Python 3.1. Use apt-get and that will do the trick.
