This Django project template is customized to our workflow. It can be used as is or as a starting point to make your own template.
The bc branch contains a few specific settings and relies on some internal
tools. For a random stranger the master branch is a way to go.
Install virtualenvwrapper and deps with pip or your packagemanager.
pip install virtualenvwrapper
Add something like this to .bashrc:

export PROJECT_HOME=~/Workplace/Sources/web/django
source /usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh
Source it or launch a new shell.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikek/django-basic-project-template/master/create.sh | bash -s yourprojectname

This template integrates with a few optional tools
Included fabfile.py has helpful comments.
django-kitchen project provides initial kitchen structure and example node configuration. You can place it anywhere you like.
If you are working in a full featured UNIX-like environment with recent version of Python installed - you can safely remove all Vagrant-related stuff:
rm -rf Vagrant*
Otherwise, please refer to the included Vagrantfile.README.
To work on existing project - clone it in the same directory instead of using project template.
The resulting structure should look like this:
yourprojectname/
|-- project/
| |-- .git
| |-- manage.py
| |-- fabfile.py
[...]
| |-- yourprojectname/
| | |-- apps/
| | |-- core/
| | |-- media/
[...]
workon yourprojectname
./manage.py runserver
