Running Django on Heroku

gistfile1.sh

# create a dir
mkdir foobar
cd foobar

# instantiate a virtual environment
virtualenv --no-site-packages .

# start your virtualenv
source bin/activate

# install django
pip install django

# start your django project
django-admin.py startproject foobar

# I usually rename the appdir itself to 'app', but we don't care in this case.
# from here on, do all your stuff you would normally do, git commit etc.
# ...

# create requirements file in the root dir (./foobar in this case)
pip freeze > requirements.txt

# push your app to heroku
git push heroku master

# ...
# profit!
