I implemented a REST api in django with django-rest-framework and used oauth2 for authentication.
I tested with:
curl -X POST -d \"client_id=YOUR_CLI
Though the above solution is interesting, there is another way. Keep the wsgi.conf VirtualHost configuration file you want to use in .ebextensions, and overwrite it in a post deploy hook (you can't do this pre-deploy because it will get re-generated (yes, I found this out the hard way). If you do this, to reboot, make sure to use the supervisorctl program to restart so as to get all your environment variables set properly. (I found this out the hard way as well.)
cp /tmp/wsgi.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf
/usr/local/bin/supervisorctl -c /opt/python/etc/supervisord.conf restart httpd
exit 0
