Running a django project in a subdirectory of a site already running Drupal

Question

This problem bugged me last week or so, and now I'm coming up with a deadline. I have a site on the Media Temple DV server that runs Drupal on webroot (servername.org). I am adding a django site and I would like it to be at url servername.org/myproject. I created a project (in a directory not in a web route) and it works fine when I run it using the django dev server, but I cannot configure apache to run my django site. I followed this tutorial http://how.4cpus.com/installing-django-on-mt-media-temple-dv-35-server-with-mod_python/

to do the initial setup and configure vhost..conf as described there. But the .htaccess file created by Drupal continues to grab my url and returns a 404 error.

The only work I have so far is that if I create a subdirectory in webroot called httpdocs / myproject and then go to the URL servername.org/myproject, it will work. But as soon as I try to go to any myproject subfolder (for example, servername / myproject / login), I get 404 error again.

Any help here? I know this should be a simple one or two Apache configuration settings, but I can't figure it out and I'm running out of ideas.

Here is a snippet of the vhost.conf file:

<Location "/myproject/">
  SetHandler python-program
  PythonPath "['/var/www/vhosts/servename.org/']+sys.path"
  PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
  SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE myproject.settings
  PythonInterpreter myproject
</Location>

And here is the Drutal.htaccess file in webroot (note the rewirte rule, which I put closer to the end, which does nothing):

#

  #
  # To redirect all users to access the site WITH the 'www.' prefix,

  # adapt and uncomment the following:
  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]

  # To redirect all users to access the site WITHOUT the 'www.' prefix,
