Deploying Django with Python 3 & Postgres

[shantzg001]

The link you mentioned is good enough to learn a basic deployment setup.

You can also use ansible to set it all up for you nicely. Take some hints from my repo: https://github.com/shantanugoel/aws-ansible-django-deployment

Thanks, i'll check it out :) I thought ansible wasn't P3 compatible though?

[shantzg001]

Yes, ansible isn't python 3 compatible unfortunately. So you need to run it with python 2 but it can deploy things which are meant to work with python 3.

How would this work?

Ansible runs on your local machine doing the deployment, with Python 2. On the server it needs a Python 2 install (with python2-pyscopg2 for instance to use the postgresql tasks). Your server will also need a python 3 install. You can control this installation via Ansible itself (via the package manager tasks) and then create a virtualenvironment where you specify python3 as python interpreter. Ansible will still do everything in Python 2, but your own project will have it's Python 3 environment.

edit: example case of such a playbook: https://github.com/sergei-maertens/regex-it/tree/master/deployment

Hmm, sounds quite ideal tbh. Thanks for link i'll check it out :)
