How to setup a Django App on OpenShift DIY with virtualenv

Question

As RedHat openshift doesn't support Python 2.7, I choose to use Do-It-Yourself (DIY) application.

I could able to install python 2.7, setuptools, PIP successfully using an amazing tutorial. Now I want to setup a VirtualEnv and install Django and other libs in it.

So, is there any similar (as mentioned above: step by step process) tutorial to configure?

Answer 1

I wrote a example app which runs on Python 2.7, Django 1.4 powered by uWSGI (or Gunicorn; dev choice) and Jenkins CI.. Of course using Virtualenv
