Most systems I work on are complex multidev setups, testing setup, production (multiple web boxes, db, etc.) I have found capistrano to be an excellent tool for automating all the steps needed to deploy to the various above targets. It's in Ruby, but I was able to use it effectively and I don't know Ruby(At least I don't think I do :). It is not a simple tool though. Probably overkill for people with just a simple hosted server. I have a proj_base_settings.py that has strangely enough the base settings for project proj Each dev/test/production environment has a proj_settings.py that imports proj_base_settings.py and overrides whatever is required. This is often just setting DEBUG, email addy, and db. This file is not checked into source control. I prepend proj_ to all the settings files so I can have multiple projects in same python path with out conflicts. -- Norman J.
