Django running under python 2.7 on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Question

According to the docs, AWS Elastic Beanstalk supports Python 2.6. I wonder if anyone has set up a custom AMI using the EBS backed 64 bit Linux AMI to run django under Python 2.7 on the beanstalk? While most aspects of a set up under 2.7 will probably be straightforward using virtualenv or changing the symlinks, I'm worried about the amazon build of mod_wsgi. I understand that depending on how mod_wsgi has been compiled there may be issues with running it in combination with Python 2.7. I also wonder if there will be any postgreSQL issues...
