Django will work with any version of Apache which supports mod_wsgi. The official mod_wsgi documentation is your source for all the details about how to use mod_wsgi. You'll probably want to start with the installation and configuration documentation.
mod_wsgi is an Apache HTTP Server module by Graham Dumpleton that provides a WSGI compliant interface for hosting Python based web applications under Apache. As of version 4.5. 3, mod_wsgi supports Python 2 and 3 (starting from 2.6 and 3.2).
As well as WSGI, Django also supports deploying on ASGI, the emerging Python standard for asynchronous web servers and applications.
Django's primary deployment platform is WSGI, the Python standard for web servers and applications. Django's startproject management command sets up a minimal default WSGI configuration for you, which you can tweak as needed for your project, and direct any WSGI-compliant application server to use.
I believe that mod_wsgi is compiled against a specific version of python, so you need a py3.4 version of mod_wsgi. You may be able to get one from your os's package repository or you can build one without too much drama. From memory you'll need gcc and python-dev packages (python3-dev?) to build.
OK, quick google, for ubuntu 14.10: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 should install a py3 version of mod_wsgi (will probably want to remove the existing py2 version).
Adding a shebang line won't do any good as the python interpreter is already loaded before the wsgi.py script is read.
