Your mod_wsgi would need to be compiled against Anaconda Python to start with and not your system Python. In other words you cannot use the system supplied mod_wsgi packages but would need to compile it yourself. Then follow what it says in:

• http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2014/09/using-python-virtual-environments-with.html

That is, use daemon mode and use the python-home option to WSGIDaemonProcess.

Do note that there have been reports suggesting that Anaconda Python is broken in some way and will not work with systems that want to embed Python. So may not work anyway.

BTW, you cannot use '~' in the path in your WSGI script file anyway with the way you were doing it. It would not be expanded to be the home directory. But then, follow that post and you will not need that.
