Well, I do not totally agree with your point. The problem with virtual environments such as these is that you have trouble sometimes figuring out what actually happens behind the scripts that are used to initialize your environment. Thus comes a natural habit that I personally developed which is to say, whatever external tool that you need a specific version for, get the latter version and install it within a directory that would look like something of this kind /external/django/bin/ And add that directory to your Django project path in your settings.py This has the advantage to let you know when you deploy your app, which are the real specifics that you need to install back again on your development server.
Did that help ? Again, it's my personal opinion. Be careful to choose what suits you. -- Issam Outassourt Le 21 nov. 2012 16:39, "Javier Guerra Giraldez" <jav...@guerrag.com> a écrit : > On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 10:11 AM, Peter Edström <edstr...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > You recommend using virtualenv.
