Which can cause other problems if you have used site name as package
prefix in module imports or urls.py.

The only safe way that covers everything is to actually add both
parent directory and site directory to sys.path. Even that though
doesn't set up process environment for WSGIHandler same as Django
development server does for application

As referenced before, read:

This explains lots of issues related to this.
