Can packaging improve Django deployments?
summary
Argues that turning a Django site into a Python distribution makes deployments reproducible and faster: use setup.cfg + MANIFEST.in to build wheels, add an entry point for manage commands, and pin a full dependency tree with pip-compile into a constraints.txt. Build artifacts on CI and serve them via devpi or static HTTP, install with pip -c to avoid compiles on production, and manage runtime settings via environment-backed config libraries so identical releases run across many servers.
