I followed these instructions to serve Python (Web2Py) via uWSGI. However, the web server returned an error:

uWSGI Error
Python application not found

until I modified the config.xml config file from:

<uwsgi>
    <pythonpath>/var/web2py/</pythonpath>
    <app mountpoint="/">
        <script>wsgihandler</script>
    </app>
</uwsgi>

to:

<uwsgi>
    <pythonpath>/var/web2py/</pythonpath>
    <module>wsgihandler</module>
</uwsgi>

What's the difference between <app> and <module>? Why did <module> work, but not <app>?
