I had a long period of frustration with the application cookbook and
finally gave up on it in favor of a (mostly) reusable (but somewhat
tailored to my environment) Django-app deployment cookbook that is
still evolving.  The main thing is that we have our own PyPI server
that we push "production" code into after our CI testing passes. So I
don't need my deployments to suck from a repo (which would be
mercurial and not git), but simply install python packages and do
configurations.
