Consider a website build using python and django. In many cases it uses 3rd party modules beside standard python library – such as pytz, South, timezones or debug toolbar.
What is standard or just convenient way to deploy such application to production hosting with all the prerequisites (timezones, etc) installed automatically?
I’m new to python, and sorry if this question is lame.
Fabric is definitely a nice way to accomplish this. There is a fairly extensive blog write up on the process at http://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2010/04/22/basic-django-deployment-with-virtualenv-fabric-pip-and-rsync/.
The key to fabric is “fabfile.py” – there’s an example of one that does a deployment at http://bitbucket.org/copelco/caktus-deployment/src/tip/example-django-project/caktus_website/fabfile.py.
The variation of this that I’ve used to deploy to a Linode instance is http://gist.github.com/556508
