Re: About managing dependencies in a collaborative development team and good practices.

Hi Santiago


All the mentions of virtualenv and pip are good, but I want to throw in another suggestion that will make your life a lot easier when working in teams and lower the discrepancy between "development machine" and "live server": Vagrant [1].

In fact, we're now running *all* projects in vagrant vm's with automated provisioning. Adding a new coder to the team involves 

* Checking out the repository that contains 
** the vagrant configuration file
** the requirements.txt
** the setup.py
** the provisioning recipes

* running `vagrant up`

And you'll have a complete mini server that runs exactly the same architecture on each team member's dev machine and server.
