Nice article.
I use virtualenv heavily and still do the symlinking dance. I keep my django trunk in a ~/libraries folder and symlink the django folder to the /path/to/virtualenv/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages folder. I'm not sure that I have a compelling reason for doing so.
- izak30 15y agocd ~Path/to/django; pip install -e .; It feels better than symlinking to me. I would really only do this if I had a custom patched django though. If speed/bandwidth is a concern, just make sure your pip cache is setup properly.
- myusuf3 15y agoI would suggest to stop doing that since thats the point of virtualenv; it is a bit of pain since it doesn't put django-admin.py in path but you can always refer to it.
