I too have been developing web applications with Django. The company where I work is ultra-ultra cautious with security so even though I'm the webmaster I don't get root access (they do grant me sudo access to do apache2ctl graceful though). I am kind of jealous of PHP applications where you just upload. I'm definitely interested in hearing how others are deploying. My team has gone through some trial and error to find something that works well for us, here's how we're doing it now: I put my projects in /srv//python-packages/trunk with a symlink so that you can access the project using either .../trunk or .../projectname. (The "trunk" is any branch using our vcs, we've just agreed to use trunk - we use bzr for vcs) I install django to /srv//python-packages/django and I also put any other special python packages there in /srv//python-packages/ (for example, I recently used markdown) In my project there's of course settings.py but this has been a challenge since different developers have different configurations so settings.py only contains things that are valid for everyone. Anything specific to the host running django gets put in a file called settings_computername.py. The first line of this file is: from settings import * Then below that is the host specific stuff (db settings, paths to media and templates, etc). The apache vhost looks like this (for mod_python): SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/srv//python-packages'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE trunk.settings_ PythonDebug On SetHandler None SetHandler None Alias media/ /srv//python-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/ SetHandler None Alias files/ /srv//www/files/ Also, we're going to implement a new security feature so that admin access happens via https using a different domain than what you use to you view the site. That way, in case some kind of xss exploit slips through a malicious user can't hijack an admin's session since the admin sessions are tied to a different domain than the site is viewed at. We currently do this with our PHP applications and even though its a bit cumbersome, I enjoy the extra safety net it provides. I worked at a company for a while that developed java applications and they used the Resin app server. It was kind of interesting because you just had to upload a war file and resin would detect it, unpack it and install it automatically. It was kind of nice. I think that a typical java servlet based app is more difficult to install than a typical django app (but mostly because of the xml, otherwise they're about the same). It would be exciting to see functionality similar to this available for us as django developers. Just upload your app via ftp and django would deploy it. I'll bet the RoR gang would enjoy this too and it could boost the availability of mass-hosting options for Rails and Django developers. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode From mike at hostetlerhome.com Wed Feb 6 17:06:10 2008 From: mike at hostetlerhome.com (Mike Hostetler) Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 10:06:10 -0600 (CST) Subject: [omaha] Django Talk In-Reply-To: <94BC3D204A17734681830A69CBF99993DF7EF2@lilo.delasco.pri> References: <94BC3D204A17734681830A69CBF99993DF7EF2@lilo.delasco.pri> Message-ID: <47561.69.58.248.102.1202313970.squirrel@email.powweb.com> Jeff Hinrichs wrote: > I am looking forward to it. > > Mike, did you find your vga adapter dongle? > I found it my laptop bag, of all places!!

But that is not specific to xml, for example, I don't tend to use RE's until they are called for either. Most simple string searches don't require regular expressions however this is a point where non-RE methods don't make sense anymore. Kind of a simplest that works first ideology.
