virtualenv best practice / source control

[junk]

Greetings wise django users,

Can someone provide a link or description of how to use virtualenv/django/source-control all at the same time?

I thought I would put my virtualenv code, and django, and a starter project in source control.  That was a fail - when the directories moved, nothing worked.

I changed some paths & symbolic links, and got some things working, but not everything.

Thanks everyone.

Regards,
Jody

I think it a lot better not to put the virtualenv in source control. All you really need is the requirements.txt in source control and it is fairly easy to set up a  virtualenv.

You can make a virtualenv relocatable, but even then it is likely to cause problems - it is certain to cause problems if it contains any C extensions and someone wants to clone the code on a different OS.  It also bloats your repository with a lot of code that is not specific to your project, and I see little benefit to doing it.
