Hi there!
Hi Gabriel,
Just to mention that there is a service in Guix for the Patchwork software (https://github.com/getpatchwork/patchwork), which is a Django-based project. After a quick look, I don't see anything specific for manage.py commands, but I see a configuration option for the settings module. I don't know, maybe there's something useful for your purpose in that service.I am in the process of writing a (generalized) service to ease deployment of Python/Django web applications. I managed to get the service up and running (using gunicorn to serve dynamic web request and nginx to serve static files) but I stumble over one crucial point in the process. Django uses it's own, project-specific administration script (manage.py) as an interface to (admin) users - to collect static files from the project to a specifies location, to get access to the database, to get into an interactive (Python) shell, etc.The most beautiful (in a Django perspective) would be to simply proxy calls to the manage.py script through a Shepherd action (i.e. invoking `herd manage django-service-foobar createsuperuser` would call `manage.py createsuperuser`). Other options could be to manually write simplified Shepherd actions for (a subset) of manage.py calls (i.e. the most important/common ones).
Good luck :)
