As long as this encapsulated environment has a relatively normal
install of python - you should be able to just use the standard pinax
install instructions. Because pinax sets up its own contained
environment (virtualenv), it will exist inside the djangostack - but
with its own copy of django - think nesting dolls. Have you tried just
following instructions?

If this djangostack is doing something funky with the way its copy of
python works such that the standard pinax install won't work, it will
be easier to set up a standard dev environment (abandon djangostack)
and use pinax there, then it would be to disassemble pinax and install
it into the djangostack env.

I don't know if anyone has developed a AWP (Apache,mod_wsgi,Python)
packaged devstack, but that could be interesting.

Ok, thanks. So I installed pinax with its own environment. The working
directory is env. I got it working last night, set up a clone project,
etc. but when I turned on my computer today I couldn't get the
environment working.

I did:
david-kuriakoses-macbook-pro-15:env davidkuriakose$ bin/activate

And got permission denied:
-bash: bin/activate: Permission denied

I tried sudo ... and entered my pw but got a different error:
david-kuriakoses-macbook-pro-15:env davidkuriakose$ sudo bin/activate
Password:
sudo: bin/activate: command not found

Does anyone know what's wrong? (Im running Snow Leopard)

Hi,
I think you want to use "source" as you normal development user:
$ source your_path/bin/activate
