I am taking over a python website and find the following lines on the UWSGI server conf : 

env = PYTHON_EGG_CACHE      = /tmp
env = AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID     = A..............A
env = AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = F..............F
env = JXD_APP_SETTINGS      = prod.py

My questions are :

1) what does the python_egg_cache mean ?

2) what is the value of "env" after these 4 lines ? Is it 'prod.py' or is it a concatenation of the 4 value ?

evn option exports an environment variables to the UWSGI web server process. The option can be specified manyt times to export multiple varibles. The values can be read from os.environ dict in Python.

PYTHON_EGG_CACHE is not uWSGI specific and it is answered here: What is the Python egg cache (PYTHON_EGG_CACHE)? It is most likely related how Python eggs are deployed on your production server.
