CentOs 7 cant install mod_wsgi - apache

Question

I am trying to get a server up and running to run python scripts (Django framework) and such by using the mod_wsgi apache module to handle the scripts, however, it's not playing ball and I don't know enough to figure out what's happening or what I'm doing wrong.
I have been unable to come right using the YUM installer. So far, this is the output:
# sudo yum install mod_wsgi
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, universal-hooks

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The first thing that jumped out is the dependency httpd which I tried (and failed) to install using yum. After this, I did some research and found out its an issue with cPanel and that apparently it prevents you from using Yum to install Apache modules and everywhere says I am supposed to use the interface but I have no idea how?
My goal is to figure out how I'm 'supposed' to be loading these modules to get around these obstacles and get my server going. Someone, please help!
I am running:
CentOs 7.5
Apache 2.4.34
EasyApache 4
cPanel 7.40
PHP 5.6.38

On a CentOS 7.5 machine, I updated httpd (Apache) using yum to 2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1. Not exactly sure what your situation is with your pre-installed httpd version 2.4.34. Like I said in my comment above, I only trust versions of software available though yum. Your version is above the standard version so you could experience unexpected results.
Updated:
httpd.i686 0:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
Dependency Updated:
httpd-devel.i686 0:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
httpd-manual.noarch 0:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
httpd-tools.i686 0:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
mod_ldap.i686 0:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
mod_ssl.i686 1:2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1
After upgrading httpd, I added mod_wsgi and it installed without any problems:

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that if you use version of software no available through yum you can experience unexpected results. I have been down this road before and I now use version of software only if they are available through yum.
The error you recieved: Requires: httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664 is for a package not yet available through yum. I performed a yum search on a CentOS 7.5 machine and it yields nothing available for httpd-mmn:
yum search httpd-mmn
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Warning: No matches found for: httpd-mmn
No matches found
So, you would have to compile it yourself possibly to get your setup to work.
