I take all the other advice in these threads (beginning with relentless automated tests), and I put them into fabfile.py. Programmers should consider command lines like 'python manage.py syncdb' and 'git push origin master' as just components of a kit. We have no reason to type those command lines over and over again, with minor variations each time. We should use the kit to assemble a programmer-friendly environment. Here's a Fabric fabfile.py example: def sh(cmd): local(cmd, capture=False) def _manage(command, flavor, extra=''): sh('python manage.py %s --settings=settings.%s %s' % (command, flavor, extra)) def test(): _manage('test', 'test' , '--verbosity=0') def shell(): _manage('shell', 'local') def run(): _manage('syncdb', 'local') _manage('loaddata', 'local', 'sample_database') # CONSIDER These data should differ from the tests.py data. _manage('runserver', 'local') I also move the clutter of test_settings.py, local_settings.py, etc to a folder settings/, contain test.py, common_settings.py, local.py, etc. That fab file allows for short command lines: fab run # build a sample database from your test fixtures & launch a server fab shell # use iPython for the best shell. fab ci:'what I did' # run all the tests then integrate Also, read the book "Release It!", if you think you know how to battle- harden a website for production! -- Phlip http://zeekland.zeroplayer.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
