How do folks prefer to layout their Django projects when using virtualenv? Do you do either of the following, or something else?
Method 1: (project & apps at same level) ~/tmp$ virtualenv my_proj ~/tmp$ cd my_proj ~/tmp/my_proj$ . bin/activate (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ pip install django # ... (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ django-admin.py startproject my_project (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ django-admin.py startapp my_app1 (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ # run/test from virtenv root Method 2: (apps within project) ~/tmp$ virtualenv my_proj ~/tmp$ cd my_proj ~/tmp/my_proj$ . bin/activate (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ pip install django # ... (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ django-admin.py startproject my_project (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj$ cd my_project (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj/my_project$ ./manage.py startapp my_app1 (my_proj)~/tmp/my_proj/my_project$ # run/test from proj root Do you have to jockey the $PYTHONPATH to find apps in either case? If so, how do you make this portable/versioned (modify the virtualenv scripts and add them to $VCS? have a custom script and put that in $VCS?) Which bits do you include/exclude when using version-control? Do you keep your requirements.txt for pip at the top level virtualenv directory, or inside the project folder (or elsewhere)? I've seen a couple blog-posts that advocate "use virtualenv" but most seem to elide the best-practice details. Any tips appreciated. -tkc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
