Hi Tennessee,
Not exactly 'sexy', but I am currently deploying a Bottle app (very
similar to Flask) using CherryPy's WSGI server. Note that I'm not using
the CherryPy framework, just its WSGI server. Works well on both
Windows and Linux. Under Windows I usually deploy with Py2Exe, and
Linux I usually deploy by running under Supervisor. There are ways of
'freezing' your app for Linux, but I've never tried them.
I had issues running the CherryPy server as a Windows service - which I
worked around using a subprocess, but it doesn't sound like you will
need to go to that level for what you want.
Cheers,
Rasjid.

Being a massive web app n00b, I am currently just using the builtin
web server in Flask to develop for. In terms of operational use, I
have free choice of web server, and I haven't yet tried to determine
what would be most appropriate. Advice would be appreciated! ... it
will be an internal server only, but I'd still like to Do It Right
even if it's a simple setup.
The main interest for me is to make it really easy to install. I was
considering trying to write a deploy script to simplify the process
for the user, but I'm not sure if there's a best recommended way for
simplifying deployment. I thought the application code could be
installed into the Python environment, with a deploy script to create
a new workspace and generate an appropriate web server config snippet
as well as the command to use the Flask built-in server for
development and testing purposes.
I'm probably asking some slightly odd questions since this is my first
signifiant web app and I don't have much experience with web app
architecture.
Cheers,

How is you app being deployed? Is it being run behind a standard
webserver (eg, Apache), or within a Python based WSGI web-server?
If the latter, I would normally just pass in a command line
paramater pointing either to a config file or perhaps directly to
the project directory in your case.

Hey,
A question for the peanut gallery...
I'm writing a flask/bootstrap web app (not open sourced as yet)
for doing some scientific processing in a pipeline data
processing methodology. I want to write an example pipeline, but
then have the app be deployable in user space and use either a
configured directory or a dot-prefix directory for the data of
that particular instance of the app. I had imagined this could be
like a "layer" over the top of the core application layer, so
that users could have their projects side-by-side with the core
application examples.
I'm now thinking maybe that's a bad idea, and it would be better
just to copy the sample projects into the users workspace.
In fact I think I've pretty much convinced myself given it took
just one sentence to say and seems immediately clear.
Are there any other paradigms in web apps for managing the
application state (other than packing everything into a
database)? The data here exists naturally in a fundamentally
file-based paradigm, so I think it makes sense to continue that
mainly.
Cheers,
-Tennessee
