-WSGI config for funkwhale_api 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
-middleware here, or combine a Django application with an application of another
-framework.
