I think I may have found the answer.
Django put changes in www-data, links and files were created to files in 
/usr/share, /usr/bin and /var.
I deleted the links then deleted the extra www-data files and wsgi and 
found all hidden references to django and methodically removed every one.
Then ran apt-get autoremove and apt-ge autoclean and apt-get update to 
rebuild the sources.list.
localhost now calls the drupal files and my test index.html in /var/www 
so all is well - almost.

I need to work out the difference between calling 127.0.0.1 giving 
instant display yet calling a drupal page suffers a delayed response.
It seems to be a ubuntu/apache2 thing because fedora 14/httpd is much 
faster.
Thank you for your replies
