Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Development to Deployment in Django, here is a quick summary:

An overview of my pipeline between development and deployment for Django projects. Fabric and Git turn a potentially unhappy task into something very quick and easy.

I love the article ... and like reading your blog in general. Darned good topic, thanks for sharing your details.

I do the hostname matching with a large if-else in the middle of the settings.py

I am thinking that I really need to move those pieces out into separate files (dev_settings.py, prod_settings.py).

I don't understand the win of using Fab. I do what you do -- commit changes to repository, ssh to production, svn update and restart/validate.

Some multiple/parallel SSH-enabled pusher or FUSE filesystem would be what I'd look for, once I have more than a single production target.
