I can't recommend the Two Scoops of Django method enough, if only because it's made by people that deploy a lot and from sensible suggestions.
1. Just a single code base, but with different branches if needed (hence using DVCS). Then you commit once, and have no synchronisation problems. Any issues in the dev code base you fix immediately it doesn't work in staging or production 2. I have three sites - dev, staging, production, because you would not believe the things I break on first deploy (to staging) 3. Each set up can happen on the same machine - but in different Virtual Envs and wsgi files 4. settings.py becomes settings/base.py settings/dev.py settings production.py settings/staging.py 5. the wsgi is generic, checked into codebase, then excluded in .gitignore. Then each is changed - just that one line referencing settings. 6. Different requirements.txt, to keep on top of which environments are using which add ons. Production doesn't need django-debug, all need python-ldap/django-auth-ldap, but only after the deployment of ldap worked in dev, then staging... Check out two scoops - I think it's chapters 3 and 4 cheers L. 4.

I am disheartened that people can be clever enough to do that and not clever enough to do the obvious thing and KEEP THEIR IDIOT MOUTHS SHUT about it, because it is much more important to sound intelligent when talking to your friends.
