Django3- Deploying Changes

The video tutorial explains how to manage different settings for local and live environments in a Python project. It covers creating a local settings file, testing and debugging the setup, and pushing changes to a live server. The tutorial also discusses managing dependencies with requirements.txt and finalizing deployment. It concludes with a brief mention of setting up a custom domain.

Why is it beneficial to have separate settings files for local and production environments?

• To improve code readability

• To avoid code duplication

• To manage different configurations for development and live environments

• To reduce the size of the codebase

What is the purpose of adding 'local settings' to the Git ignore file?

• To make the codebase more secure

• To ensure local settings are not pushed to the live server

• To improve the performance of the application

• To prevent local changes from being overwritten

What should you do if you encounter an error stating 'no local file' during testing?

• Delete the local settings file

• Reinstall Python

• Restart the server

• Check if the local settings file is correctly named and located

Which command is used to list all installed pip packages in the project?

• pip list

• pip install

• pip freeze

• pip show

What is the purpose of the 'requirements.txt' file in a Python project?

• To list all Python files in the project

• To specify the Python version required

• To list all dependencies needed for the project

• To document the project's features

What is the first step in deploying changes to a live server?

• Install new dependencies

• Push changes to GitHub

• Create a new branch

• Run the application locally

Why is it important to run 'pip install -r requirements.txt' on the server?

• To restart the server

• To clean up unused files

• To install all necessary packages for the project

• To update the server's operating system

What should you do if you have made migrations locally?

• Revert them

• Delete the migration files

• Ignore them

• Run 'python manage.py migrate' on the server

What is the final step after deploying changes to ensure they are live?

• Delete the local settings file

• Reload the web application on the server

• Run the application locally

• Restart the local server

What additional cost is associated with having a custom domain on Python Anywhere?

• No additional cost

• $15 per month

• $10 per month

• $5 per month
