Ken, Travis
Thank you for your support. I found the going very boggy and have come
to the conclusion there must be an easier way.
I'll try and find that and document it.
TL DR;
I got Mezzanine going some years ago with Python2.7 and I have dim
memory of difficulties back then.
This time I tried really hard for a few days to tweak things so they
worked in Python3.6 and discovered Travis's video useful but it didn't
work for me. The process kept aborting with errors. I did try a number
of manual installation workarounds but In the end I decided to to give
in and just go back to Python2.7.
So I installed Py2.7 on the droplet and was about to go through the fab
steps but decided I should first capture the exact errors I was getting
with Py3.6 in order to report back to the list. So I cranked up a Py3.6
machine again and used "fab remove > fab_remove.txt" and so on to
process remove, install, create and deploy.
I can send these four text files off-list if you like. I think it would
be too much to send on-list.
To my surprise, that installed Mezzanine on the droplet under Python3.6.
I'm guessing it worked because I had installed Python2.7 on the droplet.
Can't be sure but that's a strong hunch.
The SSL template side of deploy was a disaster so I started from scratch
and went to certbot for SSL. With a bit of fiddling and adjusting
permissions for the unix:// socket I finally got the deployed website
running. It hasn't been my finest hour(s).
Now a semi-related question for you.
I understand virtualenv for development of a Mezzanine project but why
is it necessary for a deployed site?
If I'm to document an easier way, I need to first state an assumed
workflow and deployment objective for an assumed target audience.
At this point I am the easiest of target audiences. All I have done to
"tweak" my Mezzanine deployment is disable Twitter. So that would be my
assumed target audience.
While I am a Django developer and happily use virtualenv I deploy all
sites from a repo directly to vhosts on staging and production machines.
Is that a fair "easy" scenario?
Thanks again
Mike

I have made a start but its heavy going. Mercurial demands
Python2.7 unless there is an env var HGPYTHON3=1 and then there
are pip things falling over as well.
I'll keep trying

Hi Mike,
Fabric3 and Python3 were used on the dev machine and

You need to use an earlier version with the fabfile;
`fabric==1.2.2` works, if the mailing list archives are to be
believed. The alternative would be a rewrite of the fabfile to
account for changes in the Fabric api.
To start using python3, modify your fabfile
https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/project_template/fabfile.py#L446-L447:
apt("nginx libjpeg-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools git-core
" "postgresql libpq-dev memcached supervisor python3-pip")
Not sure what else you might have to change, but if you manage
to deploy, a pull request of your changes would be greatly
appreciated!
