This is the pavement file I use to deploy a django site. It's in early stages. Right now it copies everything up to the desired server over scp. But I think I'll change it to rsync in the future.

It requires pavement, and pexpect.

The pavement file takes slight instruction from your settings.py file. For server information, and "lib_apps" to copy into the lib directory.

An example of a settings file that I use with this pavement file: http://gitweb.codeendeavor.com/?p=django_empty.git;a=blob_plain;f=settings.py;h=23bda7d2a1eb2a52ca0859004ecccd206dade4ec;hb=5d672178dab282caeed5ff0de7ed807c72e44f74

Specifically, check out the bottom for two vars: "LIB_APPS" and "DEPLOYMENTS"

A good example of my empty django project is here: http://gitweb.codeendeavor.com/?p=django_empty.git;a=tree;h=5d672178dab282caeed5ff0de7ed807c72e44f74;hb=5d672178dab282caeed5ff0de7ed807c72e44f74

I think the one thing that's missing is a way to re-spawn fcgi processes. Which I'll hopefully get around to adding sometime soon.

Also, I need to do a little work at making sure source control files don't get pushed through scp.

Best way to re-spawn fcgi processes is to use mod_wsgi :) Learned the hard way.
