The sourced shell script is was talking about would be something like this:
$ cat setup_settings
PROJECT=inventory
SITE=inventory
DJANGO_APPS=${HOME}/dev/django_apps/apps
DJANGO_HOME=${DJANGO_APPS}/${PROJECT}
DJANGO_PATH=${DJANGO_HOME}/django/bin
export PATH=${DJANGO_PATH}:${PATH}
export PYTHONPATH=${DJANGO_HOME}:${DJANGO_APPS}/site-packages
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=${SITE}.settings
unset DJANGO_HOME
unset DJANGO_PATH
unset DJANGO_APPS
The above is for a yet to be published open source inventory
application I am writing. It should be put in the route or your
project (see below) and adjust the path to your liking. You would run
this like so:
$ . setup_settings
or
$ source setup_settings
There is a space between the dot and the script. This is Linux/UNIX
only like I said with windows you need to put the proper path into
your system path manually. The Mac will be the same as Linux in this
case.
I run a variation of this script just before I do any work on a Django
project. Without something like this you won't be able to do much. In
the above and below examples the PROJECT and SITE have the same
meaning. I tend to use the same name for both, but they don't need to
be. The above script will work as is with the below directory layout.
This script is only used while you are working on your project it has
nothing to do with mod_wsgi or anything running in a production
environment.
My project layout follows the path tree below:
# |-- Django-x.x.x (BASE_DJANGO_PATH)
# `-- apps (BASE_PACKAGE_PATH)
# |-- site-packages (SITE_PACKAGES)
# `-- <project> (BASE_SITE_PATH)
# |-- db
# |-- logs
# |-- apache (APACHE_CONF)
# | |-- app.wsgi
# | `-- <project>.conf
# `-- <site>
# |--__init__.py
# |--settings.py
# |--urls.py
# '-- <app>
# |--views.py
# |--models.py
# `--tests.py
Using the above layout lets you have many projects all using the same
Django code. You just start a new project in the apps dir.
I hope this helps.
