We do the same here. Our deployment looks something like # mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages foo # workon foo # cdvirtualenv # svn checkout bar # pip install -r deployment/pip-reqs.txt It works. But it's ugly. And the pip-reqs are a pain to maintain. Now I've got almost the same requirements as the OP for a new project. We want to be able to distribute our Django 'app' as a standalone module. This is pretty easy to do with a distutils and a well constructed setup.py. We also want to be able to distribute a self contained Django project with sane defaults (and this is where it gets tricky). In total we're looking at two packages: dms_django (Django Project + base settings) dms_core (Django app, and required packages) So for a quick install we can do something like # mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages dms # workon dms # cdvirtualenv # pip install svn+https://mysvnrepo/dms_django/ # Install the dms_django package and pull in dms_core as a requirement ... sit back and everything is taken care of. (well that's the idea) However packaging a Django "project" using distutils is not straight forward: Issues: The default Django manage.py, assumes that settings.py is in the same directory. So if we mark this as a script (in setup.py) so it gets installed into ./bin and it wont work, unless we customise it first. And where do we put local settings? Can we have setup.py create a local project directory, with any local configs, user template overrides. etc? I'm hoping someone has already done this before and can advise on what works and what doesn't...
