[Answered ]-Getting started on buildout for Django

Paulo’s comment above to check http://jacobian.org/writing/django-apps-with-buildout/ is the first place you’ll have to look.

If you use django with buildout, you just cannot live without the “djangorecipe” extension for buildout: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangorecipe

And, just to give you an example to get started with, I’d suggest:

$> sudo easy_install nensskel
$> nensskel -t nens_lizardsite test-site

And then you can look at the test-site directory for a couple of tricks (buildout.cfg in combination with a deploy.cfg, a settings.py plus a developmentsettings.py and so on).

(Nensskel is just a company-internal basic site/app/library generator I made, but it is instructive as an example to get you started with your own setup).
