DISQUS

I'm using the Pinax-style pip+virtualenv approach too, and it's mostly working well for me (barring some issues with compiled packages like PIL and psycopg2 that I've had to keep installed globally). I use it for deployment, too. If you do try switching to zc.buildout, will you report back on your experience - whether it is in fact "a lot sweeter"? I'd find that very helpful.

Check out that post I linked from Jacob above. It's good shiz.

That's a good post from Jacob (not linked above, but in a later followup), but it still leaves me unclear what I'd actually gain over pip+virtualenv, which does a lot of similar things for me, with a lot less fussing about with arcane and poorly-documented configuration. That's why I'd be particularly interested in your take on it if you try the switch.
