Maybe the "best" would be to create an egg, put it on a web server
somewhere, and easy_install it using the -f option.
If you're using Subversion, you could create a tag and easy_install
directly from the repo, like so:
easy_install http://repo.example.com/path/to/tag
BTW, I'm assuming that you're installing in a virtualenv, but this
would work for a system install, too.
What I do is create a virtualenv and add a run directory to it. I put
my config file in the run directory, and run `paster serve --daemon
prod.ini` from there.

Using the above method, you'd run the same easy_install command with
the -U option, copy the new config file, and restart.
If it's not a production deployment and you're making a lot of
changes, it might be more convenient to do a checkout on the server
and run directly from the source.
It's hard to say what's best, but hopefully this helps.
