Apache Django Mod_Wsgi - auto reload

Question

I am trying to auto reload my django app which uses apache + mod_wsgi on my local windows machine.

I'd like to know where do I add this code that's referenced in the following article:

http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ReloadingSourceCode

def _restart(path):
    _queue.put(True)
    prefix = 'monitor (pid=%d):' % os.getpid()
    print >> sys.stderr, '%s Change detected to \'%s\'.' % (prefix, path)
    print >> sys.stderr, '%s Triggering Apache restart.' % prefix
    import ctypes
    ctypes.windll.libhttpd.ap_signal_parent(1)

Read:

It tells you exactly where to place the file when using Django. You just need to make the code change that everyone is pointing out to you in the source code reloading documentation section related to Windows. Also read:

http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/02/source-code-reloading-with-modwsgi-on.html

which explains the variations on the first related to Windows.
