You can ignore the bad bundle message.  It just means that wxMac 
discovered that the command you passed is not an application bundle so 
it will try to run it the old fashioned way.

The real problem seems to be that your Django app is exiting right away 
instead of sticking around to handle requests.  What happens if you run 
the same command from a Terminal window?  If it works then do you have 
any PYTHONPATH set in the environment that is allowing it to work there 
that would cause it to fail if that is not set in the environment Python 
gets when run from the wx app?
