Restart to see changes? Cherokee + uWSGI + Django/Pinax + Virtualenv

I'm having some trouble with Cherokee + uWSGI picking up on code changes to .py files in my django app. Even using

find -name "*.pyc" -delete

...seems to have no effect.

Changes are noticed instantly, on refresh, when running the same code base under django runserver

How do I force restart and reliably see changes under Cherokee + uWSGI + Django?

Solution

  • The Django development server picks up on code changes, but this is not a feature you'd want in a production server. You need to restart your Python processes, monitored by uwsgi, in order to run your latest code. On FreeBSD with uwsgi from ports, you can do:

    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/uwsgi restart

    More info in the uwsgi manual.
