RePi manages your virtual environments, whether they're are all on the same machine or not. You can remotely list installed PyPi packages or install new ones. RePi does not, unlike Chef or Puppet, require a SSH connection. All you need is a Redis server your machines can connect to. If you want to go crazy, you can also use the nightly Redis build which supports clustering. RePi will still work.
This module gives you a small web interface which establishes a Websocket connection and lets you list PyPi packages or install new ones. To connect your virtual environments, you need to install and run repi-client in each of them.
repi-server requires a running Redis server. See Redis' quickstart for installation instructions. repi-server is compatible with Redis clusters (which is an experimental feature at this point).
$ pip install repi-serveror from source:
$ python setup.py installAfter installation, you can run the 'repi-server' script.
$ repi-serverNow you can point your browser towards http://localhost:8888/ .
To connect to a Redis host different from 'localhost' or change the HTTP port, you can see a list of all the available options by running:
$ repi-server -h
