Re: Django deployment practices -- do people use setup.py?

Hi Simon,

 

I read your blog and am wondering if you considered the 'pip install –e' (edit) option of pip? I use it and it does what you are trying achieve with git submodules.

 

For example:

    $ pip install -e git+git://github.com/danielsokolowski/django-chunks.git#egg=danols-django-chunks

 

Would install django-chunks from my repo under `virtualenv/src/danols-django-chunks` and it would be a full svn repo (or git or hg) that you can push pull from.

You can also add @commit_num to install a specific commit; the benefit of this is that you can place this in your projects `requirements.txt` file as is.

 

If you I don't include the `-e` option then it would install to `virtualenv/lib/python/site-packages/`.  If you did consider the `–e` option but choose not to use it

could you sum up why you find your approach better?

 

In the end I have a mix of official packages, git repos, and project specific code split up in a directory structure like so (I feel like sharing ) :

 

    ./

    ./raw_media – ras project assets

    ./src

    ./src/django-project         – the client website, the django projects

    ./src/django-guardian     – an example of an official app modified just to this specific site but not backward compatible or worthy to be pushed back to an official repo

    ./virtualenv

    ./virtualenv/[...]         – virtual env stuff including stuff install with just 'pip install'

    ./virtualenv/src/        – repos installed with 'pip install –e' options that I can edit and push back

    .project                      – eclipse IDE file

    .pydevproject             – eclipse IDE file

    apache-conf.httpd     – apache conf that I symlink to

    django-project.wsgi     – mod_wsgi setting file

    readme.txt

    requirements.readme.txt

    requirements.txt

Hi

 

We have been using git and git submodules and just started using virtualenv and pip.

 

Submodules works well but you need a git repo of your packages. I wrote a blog post on using them: http://www.feinheit.ch/blog/2012/04/18/using-git-submodules/

 

Now we use pip for working packages like south or feincms. I still use submodules for packages still in development.

 

Regards

Simon
