A handy gist for deploying Django code to a remote server via Git/Fabric and then managing the app via Supervisor. Heavily inspired by the excellent docs at http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.6/. Switch out the "appname" bits and everything in local_settings.py to suit your app's settings, naturally.

fabfile.py

# import the fabric requirements
from __future__ import with_statement
from fabric.api import *
from fabric.contrib.console import confirm

# import local_settings.py
from local_settings import *

# run Django's test framework
def test():
    with settings(warn_only=True):
        result = local('./manage.py test appname', capture=True)
    if result.failed and not confirm("Tests failed! D: Continue anyway?"):
        abort("Aborting!")


# add and commit all local files
def commit():
    with settings(warn_only=True):
        commit = local("git add -p && git commit")
    if commit.failed:
        print("Nothing to commit. Moving on.")


# push up to github
def push():
    local("git push origin master")


# run all the pre-flight tests
# this would also be a handy place to pack/minify, if so desired
def prepare_deploy():
    test()
    commit()
    push()


# ---------------------

# deploy to the remote server
def deploy():
    with settings(warn_only=True):
        if run("test -d %s" % code_dir).failed:
            run("git clone %s %s" % (code_repo, code_dir))
    with cd(code_dir):
        run("git fetch")
        run("git merge origin/master")
        run("supervisorctl restart appname")

local_settings.py

# deploy/fabric needs
from fabric.api import *

# remote server configs
env.user = 'username'
env.hosts = ['domain.com']
env.key_filename = '/path/to/.ssh/id_rsa'

# deploy directory and repo info
code_dir_root = '/path/to/code/directory'
code_dir_target = '/path/to/code/directory/target'
code_repo = '[email protected]:user/REPO.git'

This also assumes that you're using Git and SSH keys, to note.

If you'd rather deploy by tarring, the Flask docs have a great example.

And if you have questions about making SSH keys, there's a great sample on the Centos Wiki.
