deploying a Python application from a PHP developer
- by user1218776
I'm a little confused on the deployment process for Python. Let's say you
create a brand new project with virtualenv
source bin/activate
pip install a few libraries
write a simple hello world app
pip freeze the dependencies
When I deploy this code into a machine, do I need first make sure the machine is sourced before installing dependencies? I don't mean to sound like a total noob but in the PHP world, I don't have to worry about this because it's already part of the project. All the dependencies are registered with the autoloader in place.
The steps would be:
rsync the files (or any other method)
source bin/activate
pip install the dependencies from the pip freeze output file
It feels awkward, or just wrong and very error prone. What are the correct steps to make? I've searched around but it seems many tutorials/articles make an assumption that anyone reading the article has past python experience (imo).
