This is another of my "what is the best way" questions.

I would like to deploy my Pylons application without headaches on my clients server. This would mean my app with its templates and creating the database. A while back, Dan posted that he had init code in websetup.py and he called this at the command line:

command-prompt# paster setup-app development.ini

Taking a look at this line, I thought, "typical of Pylons, got to break out the shovel again". After digging for a while I found this:

def setup_config(self, command, filename, section, vars): 0557 """ 0558 Called to setup an application, given its configuration 0559 file/directory. 0560 0561 The default implementation calls 0562 ``package.websetup.setup_config(command, filename, section, 0563 vars)`` or ``package.websetup.setup_app(command, config, 0564 vars)`` 0565 0566 With ``setup_app`` the ``config`` object is a dictionary with 0567 the extra attributes ``global_conf``, ``local_conf`` and 0568 ``filename`` 0569 """

What I have discovered can be summed up as:

1. Create an egg for deployment, this worked for me on windows, it did ´nt work on Ubuntu 2. Copy the app folder to the target server, then run setup-app

What is advised by the Pylons overlords?
