Capistrano for Django

Question

Does anyone know of a good Django equivalent of Capistrano/Webistrano?

Answer 1

Fabric is a Python-based application deployment system. It can be used to deploy Django projects.

Answer 2

Capistrano (and therefore Webistrano) can be used for pretty much any deployment, so long as you use SSH. Capistrano is Rails-ready out-of-the-box but it can easily be configured to deploy PHP, Django, Java...whatever really.

Capistrano is a Ruby application so you'll need to have Ruby (and the required Gems) installed to run it.

Webistrano is a Rails application and you can run this locally or deploy it to a server if you wish.

Answer 3

I googled around for a simple formula, and then created my own at: http://www.sandelman.ca/mcr/blog/ruby-on-rails/deploying_django_applications_with_capistrano/
