+WSGI config for planetstack project.
+
+This module contains the WSGI application used by Django's development server
+and any production WSGI deployments. It should expose a module-level variable
+named ``application``. Django's ``runserver`` and ``runfcgi`` commands discover
+this application via the ``WSGI_APPLICATION`` setting.
+
+Usually you will have the standard Django WSGI application here, but it also
+might make sense to replace the whole Django WSGI application with a custom one
+that later delegates to the Django one. For example, you could introduce WSGI
