Virtualenvs demo, tricks, & tutorial

Let's get together and talk about virtualenv. It is becoming the standard. This talk will cover what virtualenv is and why should you use it, what virtualenv wrapper is, virtualenv organization, and how to take advantage of hooks.

If you want to set up virtualenv before you leave, bring your laptop. We will save time at the end for a little hands on.

If you used virtualenv & you have a hook to share or some other customization that you think is helpful, please email Jackie or come ready to share it.

    I did not have official word about this last Wednesday so I couldn't mention it.

    Gannett Digital is hiring a Python/Django developer to work on USA Today and other properties.

    Get talk last night. Quick question, what was the tool that Chris uses to make RPMs out of virtualenvs?

      https://github.com/fir... - this doesn't create RPMs or anything like that but it's handy for building packages of any sort.

      A couple years back I was deploying a Django site using RPM with roughly this approach:

      The code is no doubt stale - and you can see where I used a quick hack rather than virtualenv-tools, which didn't exist back then - but it's still useful as a reference for building your own spec files.

      FPM has been on my list of tools to look at for making (rpm, deb) packages. It might do the trick. https://github.com/jor...
