I would hesitate to put the entire virtualenv into version control because the Python executable is a binary, there are symlinks from the lib directory to the system Python, and also .so files (binary) in the lib directory. These all will work only on the same computer, or at least one with identical paths, OS, and Python version. You can set up a "make" command to create a virtualenv on the destination system and install the application into it (using editable as you said). -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
