[CentralOH] How do .eggs work in search paths?

[Kurtis Mullins]

I don't use Apache; I use nginx, but I wonder if it's possible to simply
use a Virtual Environment with Apache? That's what I do with uWSGI. It
makes it a lot easier because you can simply create a requirements.txt file
and easily re-deploy or upgrade your environment as needed.
