You guys would lose your minds with envy if you saw how my company automates Flask :P

Have any Flask projects in the wild for us to see? The "Powered by Flask" section in the Flask docs is full of quick toy projects.

The quality of this leaves a lot to be desired* and you would be better off with using a 1.4 project from somewhere like https://github.com/xenith/django-base-template . *Hardcoded ubuntu user and hardcoded py26 and py26 paths in different files: https://github.com/prototypemagic/django-projectbuilder/blob... https://github.com/prototypemagic/django-projectbuilder/blob...

Release early, release often :-). We decided to launch this as soon as we thought other people could benefit from it. That day is today.

As stated in the docs, the server-side auto-deploy code assumes you're running Ubuntu. Removing such assumptions is a high priority (see TODO.md).

That said, the whole "start a new pre-configured Django project with lots of stuff pre-configured" thing is ready now and only assumes you're on a Unixy OS.

Noice, I'll go fix that now. Thanks!

I’m really sorry to get all critical, but if you personally have to SSH into the server to do setup or deployment—especially if you have to be root—you’re doing it wrong.

I also feel that if anyone or anything has to SSH into a server for deployment, it could be done better. I use Chef to automate all of this stuff; it's surprising that we have great tools like Chef, Puppet and CFEngine and people still feel the need to write custom collections of fragile scripts to get basic stuff done.
