Research direction

Start at the firepython.middleware.FirePythonWSGI entry point and compare its initialization with Django 1.2's middleware loading shown in django/core/handlers/base.py. Reproduce the reported configuration using the django.wsgi setup and verify that the WSGI application starts without the constructor TypeError under Django 1.2 alpha 1.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Here is my config:
Django version: 1.2 alpha 1 - latest trunk
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES: firepython.middleware.FirePythonWSGI
Server: Apache 2 on Ubuntu with mod_wsgi

django.wsgi:

import os
import sys

sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)))
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Traceback:
