如何将Django项目添加/导入virtualenv？

Question

I just starting to use virtualenv and I want to import an old Django project into a new virtualenv . What is the best way to do this?

I tried to just copy my old Django project inside the new virtualenv , but Django is compiling with the old Path project and not with the one inside of the virtualenv .

Answer 1

It should work immediately. Just copy/paste the Django app folder into the virtualenv environment and when you issue python manage.py runserver on that folder, it should use virtualenv 's own python binary with it's site-packages path.

Checkout your paths inside your Django app. Don't hardwire them, you should do something like this:

import os
settings_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(settings_dir))

and then concatenate PROJECT_ROOT with everything you want to declare as path inside your settings.py

Hope this helps!
