The quality of this leaves a lot to be desired* and you would be better off with using a 1.4 project from somewhere like https://github.com/xenith/django-base-template.

*Hardcoded ubuntu user and hardcoded py26 and py26 paths in different files: https://github.com/prototypemagic/django-projectbuilder/blob... https://github.com/prototypemagic/django-projectbuilder/blob...

Release early, release often :-). We decided to launch this as soon as we thought other people could benefit from it. That day is today.

As stated in the docs, the server-side auto-deploy code assumes you're running Ubuntu. Removing such assumptions is a high priority (see TODO.md).

That said, the whole "start a new pre-configured Django project with lots of stuff pre-configured" thing is ready now and only assumes you're on a Unixy OS.

Even though it doesn't seem to be the case when viewing the README, this is more for automatically creating a Django app rather than the deployment process. There are things like Chef, or even Fabric, which are far more swag for auto-deployment.

The core aspect of this is the Django defaults and the front-end stuff. The server scripts are in a separate folder for a reason.
