Django on Travis CI
"""A basic database set-up for Travis CI.
The set-up uses the 'TRAVIS' (== True) environment variable on Travis
to detect the session, and changes the default database accordingly.
Be mindful of where you place this code, as you may accidentally
assign the default database to another configuration later in your code.

I had trouble building on travi-ci and this helped a lot. Thanks.

Did any of you have trouble with travis trying to import manage.py instead of running it from a shell command?

I am getting an ImportErrror: no module named py

I had to set:
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages"

to get it to build.
