I'v also think about this before, and at that time I'v made a simple auto tool for this aim. You can find it at : http://python.org/pypi/djangoinstall/0.1 And I think about these points need to think about: 1. Modifying settings.py so that you can install new apps, adding new options 2. Modifying urls.py so that you can install new urls 3. Copying static files from the app's directory to web server's directory 4. Copying app source code to your project certain sub-directory 5. Some initialization works, for example run manage.py syncdb, and load the initialization data into database Just these thoughts. And if there is a auto deploy tool I think is better. But I should say: django's configour file format is not suit for such tool to analysis and modify, include urls.py also. So my parsing code is ugly. -- I like python!
