Slick! I actually have my own version of a django skeleton project that helps me build new sites and apps faster. I love Django, but 0-60 speed with the vanilla framework is gotta be somewhere around an hour or two. Having a project skeleton or bootstrap project is a must if you build out sites often.

The one thing I'll recommend to Bud is the integration of django-configurations so that you can keep your app consistent with http://12factor.net

Other than that, this is a brilliant setup.

Don't overlook how simple it is to keep and maintain your own in-house project template. If you're making enough new projects for it to be an issue, it could really benefit you to roll your own. There are a few ways to solve a lot of Django project setup issues; I've never found two teams that set them up quite the same (and usually for fairly good reasons).

I agree that if you've been using Django for some time, you probably have your own template, so this is geared towards beginners more, who can get a site up faster in this way. They can also look at the playbooks to see what the setup is actually doing.

Didn't know about django-configurations. I'll check it out. Thanks!
