Django deployment tools

I'm looking for some tool (or set of tools) that could help me automate deploying Django projects with all required dependencies.

I googled for some solutions but I am curious what are your favorite ones.

Solution

  • I'll second meder's suggestion: user virtualenv + pip. These will give isolated environments that can be mantained and replicated easily.

    Once you got that running, you have two choices:

    • fabric: Is great for simpler setups. You can script many deploy situations (code checkout, multiple servers, etc). Fabric makes little assumptions on what and how you are deploying, so it's pretty flexible.
    • Zope's buildout : is more complex and harder to setup, but can do pretty much any deploy scenario you throw at it.

    Best regards
