Django productivity tips and tricks
summary
Recommends concrete setup: use virtualenv isolation for dev/CI/production, pin C libraries inside the venv, install with pip/setuptools and use setup.py develop; run coverage (example shows 91% on a real project) and publish results. Use buildbot master-slave to trigger tests on team laptops and deploy test environments. Use uWSGI Emperor with one master + 7 workers, 60s request timeout and auto-reload to manage releases. Prefer proxy-user + middleware over brittle monkeypatching; use ModelForm factories and autosave-admin patterns.
