can't install wsgi_mod-3.3 for django on ubuntu - django

Question

I am trying to get my web server running on Ubuntu using Apache2 in order to run my site built with Django. Following the official django docs, I successfully got the apache server to run the django app. However, I am using Python 3.3, and when I installed mod_wsgi, it was configured for the wrong python version, so the app gets a 500 internal server error and the Apache error logs show ImportError: No module named django.core.wsgi.
I am attempting to install mod_wsgi built for Python 3.3 with the following terminal commands.
mkdir ~/sources
cd ~/sources
wget http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/files/mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
tar xvfz mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz
cd mod_wsgi-3.3
./configure
make
sudo make install
However, when I get to make I get an error and I am unable to continue.

From the error message it looks like it is trying to use python2.7 when I want 3.3, although I don't know that this is the cause of the error.
I think that would stem from make, as it says it checked for python in /usr/bin/python and not /usr/bin/python3.3.
How can I get this to work properly?
I am running apache2, django1.6, ubuntu 13.10
EDIT
I was able to get ./configure to work by running ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.3, but now I get a different error:

Answer 1

Instead of compiling mod_wsgi for python3.3 yourself, you could try to install the ubuntu package
