I installed & configured mod_wsgi for python2.7 but now I would also like to have mod_wsgi for py3

I'm in ubuntu 12.04 My apache conf file looks like this for py2.7 :

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/my_web>
    WSGIProcessGroup my_web
    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Now I would like to install mod_wsgi for python3.

I think I have to do apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

But I can't find any instruction on how to configure mod_wsgi for py3. a) Can I keep mod_wsgi for py2.7 or do I need to remove it for apache to work with mod_wsgi_py3? b) What do I need to include in my apache conf?

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3

This will replace libapache2-mod-wsgi and will restart the apache service.
