Question

I am doing a django project with Sublime Text 2 on OSX-Lion. I have installed virtualenv, so my project is in “/Users/myname/Virtualenvs/”

I need to use a ‘sudo’ for each command (syncdb, runserver), can I change these rules whithout moving my project and is it normal ?

These are parameters after a “sudo python manage.py startproject”

Answer 1

You’ll need to change ownership of all the root-owned files to yourself, but otherwise there shouldn’t be any need for sudo here.
