Is your server your production machine? By that, I mean, do you install your files somewhere else once you are done making changes to another server where it's "officially" used? I ask because you really don't want to be editing live files where "live" means what your customers (or yourself) are really using. I develop locally, then deploy to a remove server only when changes are done and tested. Therefore, my edit/run/debug cycle with PyCharm consists of running Django's web server (./manage.py runserver) on my local machine through PyCharm's debugger so that I can step through the code. I also have PyCharm set up to run various unit tests (also useful if I need to step through unit test code). I don't restart httpd, because that is running on the remove server and only needs restarting when my code is deployed. In the case of restarting Django's web server, PyCharm's professional version ($$$) has the ability to restart it for you if you have it running within PyCharm. For the community version, you have to restart it yourself which is as simple as clicking a "restart" button. If your files live somewhere else, you can mount the file system as you've mentioned. Performance might be better if the files were local, but that's true anytime you go across a mounted file system. Hopefully that answers your questions. -- Adam (a...@csh.rit.edu) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
