Before I begin, 'best' is completely subjective and I think all this comes down to what works for you and the situation. On my dev box I contain one directory that has django apps in development and those checked out from other repos, there is the global site-packages which contain apps installed from pypi and the package manager (using pm supplied modules before pypi stuff), another dir for projects, that may use it's own apps or from the other places (including other projects). It's a cluster f*ck sometimes, because prototyping is done in this area also. Apps in development have thier own repos. With git, using the git-submodule[1] command, you can use git like svn with svn externals. Importing from other repos into a super repo/project. Staging/Q-C are a different server (physically) that mimics production in everyway possible (small sites can have qc on the same box as production to get the closest environmnet). This server is for one project only, the one you're testing, I really don't recommend one staging system for multiple sites unless you're using one user for one site. Ideally the user this exists as is a special user, specifically for staging/qc. During setup/configuration run a script that installs django and any django- apps you're getting from pypi, These don't go in the global site-packages, these go into a seperate directory. like ~/lib/python/site-packages. Unless your package manager supports using a prefix other than /usr for installing apps, avoid the pm at this point. You want fine grain control over what apps/version your project is using at this point. The project is then one of the super-project git checkouts, pulling in the apps it needs from the different repos. Lives in it's own directory. this is the only area I need/want to update with git or modify. With the only real work going on is checking/testing of the site, looking for runtime errors, verifying configurations. >From here package up the staging environment to be deployed in production.
