Deploying Projects With Capistrano

August 27, 2008 at 1:25 pm | Posted in General | Comments Off on Deploying Projects With Capistrano

Not too long ago at work, we added a few more servers to our production deployment to speed things up – however, this made deploying code changes a bit more complicated, as you had to remember to update several servers every time.  I decided to look into Capistrano, which I’d heard about before, and am glad to say it’s working very well, once I managed to figure it out.

Earlier today, in #django on freenode, the topic of tab-complete in the python shell happened to come up – at first, I thought it wasn’t possible in standard python, and only in other python interpreters.

Thankfully, a link was posted with info on the readline and rlcomplete modules – at first, I couldn’t get their example working to load on startup, so upon further investigation, not only did I get that quirk worked out, but I stumbled across another module that lets you hook on start/exit to save/load a history file, much like bash.
