Hi Simon, I read your blog and am wondering if you considered the ‘pip install –e’ (edit) option of pip? I use it and it does what you are trying achieve with git submodules.
For example:
$ pip install -e
git+git://github.com/danielsokolowski/django-chunks.git#egg=danols-django-chunks
Would install django-chunks from my repo under
`virtualenv/src/danols-django-chunks` and it would be a full svn repo (or git
or hg) that you can push pull from.
You can also add @commit_num to install a specific commit; the benefit of this
is that you can place this in your projects `requirements.txt` file as is.
If you I don’t include the `-e` option then it would install to
`virtualenv/lib/python/site-packages/`. If you did consider the `–e` option
but choose not to use it
could you sum up why you find your approach better?
In the end I have a mix of official packages, git repos, and project specific
code split up in a directory structure like so (I feel like sharing ) :
./
./raw_media – ras project assets
./src
./src/django-project – the client website, the django projects
./src/django-guardian – an example of an official app modified just to
this specific site but not backward compatible or worthy to be pushed back to
an official repo
./virtualenv
./virtualenv/[...] – virtual env stuff including stuff install with
just ‘pip install’
./virtualenv/src/ – repos installed with ‘pip install –e’ options
that I can edit and push back
.project – eclipse IDE file
.pydevproject – eclipse IDE file
apache-conf.httpd – apache conf that I symlink to
django-project.wsgi – mod_wsgi setting file
readme.txt
requirements.readme.txt

Hi
We have been using git and git submodules and just started using virtualenv and
pip.
Submodules works well but you need a git repo of your packages. I wrote a blog
post on using them: http://www.feinheit.ch/blog/2012/04/18/using-git-submodules/
Now we use pip for working packages like south or feincms. I still use
submodules for packages still in development.
Regards
Simon
