Cannot use south.db.oracle in WSGI application

[gabor@…]

I have an Oracle database connection set up in Django. I use South. For that connection, it uses the south.db.oracle adapter which is an alpha. In oracle.py South prints some warning about this. This is okay. However, in a WSGI application this raises an "IOError: sys.stdout access restricted by mod_wsgi", because a WSGI application cannot directly "print" since WSGI communicates with the webserver using the standard IO facilities. Instead of simply echoing a string, you should print to the error interface:

print >> sys.stderr, 'message'
