virtualenv is good at what it does, but it's not a comprehensive deployment tool. It does one thing, and I think it does it well. A really good resource is JKM's companion repository<https://github.com/jacobian/django-deployment-workshop> to his Django deployment workshop, replete with slides. His setup uses Chef, but you should also check out Puppet.
