Thank you for documenting a test run of django-simple-deploy! In the pre-1.0 phase of development, every test run is a helpful data point. For more about test runs, please see Documenting a Test Run.
Please answer any or all of the following questions. The more information you share, the more easily we'll be able to integrate your feedback into the project.
Before completing the test run:
What OS are you using?
I'm using macOS Ventura, 13.2.1.
What project are you deploying? (the sample blog project, or your own project?)
The sample blog project.
If you're not deploying the sample blog project, can you provide a link to the project you're working with?
N/A.
What dependency management system are you using?
I used the requirements.txt file in the sample blog project.
Which platform are you targeting?
Heroku.
After you complete the test run, please answer the following questions in a followup comment:
What worked well?
I thought the documentation was quite helpful for a beginner like me. I was sitting next to you at PyCon when I went through the test deployment process, etc., so I feel you got a sense of all of my questions :)
What did not work well?
See above.
What suggestions do you have for the project based on your test run?
For beginners, I think it would be helpful to illustrate when the user is supposed to have activated their virtual environment. This would probably involve adding in (b_env) to all of the lines of command line examples you have in the docs where the user is supposed to be using their virtual environment. That said, I think you already took care of this during PyCon, seen here.
What questions do you have about the project based on your test run?
Not a question, but more of a thought... I'd be interested in seeing django-simple-deploy applied to individual servers as well as platforms. I'm a bit biased, but this would have direct positive implications on my work at the moment, and would make things easier all around. But as with the above points, I think we talked about this in person at PyCon.
