Flask doesn't have any available add-ins to be able to build business process management capabilities
Django has many add-ins available for these capabilities. The reason being, Django is pre-built with user management and permissions, making it possible to build libraries. In our case, we migrated to FAB to get these capabilities.
The examples are viewflow (http://viewflow.io/) , (http://demo.viewflow.io/workflow/shipment/shipment/start/) and activflow (https://github.com/faxad/ActivFlow)
Any ideas if there exist libraries to help implement the process in Flask or is there a plan to implement them in FAB

I have successfully developed a Django app. The requirement is to deploy the app over an on-premise server. The application is accessible on the intranet using the development environment. Is any web server is preferred to deploy this application locally (or) should I leave the terminal running the server as it is so that the users can access the application as they are already doing it? I am using a unix server.
If the question is actually on deployment model, I suggest to take a look at django docs on deployment. Depending on load, uWSGI/Gunicorn [+ nginx] will be good choice.
Independent of tools you use, no need to leave running terminal on your server. There's a lot of tools to "daemonize" processes. Simplest would be supervisor
I want to deploy Django project on google app engine
Following are the current situations.
I have a code on GITHUB
Djnago project has setup using Vagrant, Ansible, VirtualBox
I am completely new for cloud base deployments.
Need help to achieve this.
I checked google docs but there are couple of options for django related deployment, I am not sure which to pick for vagrant and ansible.
Your question is a bit too generic as it stands - making it here rather than comment for clarity.
If you're talking about deploying to GAE (Google App Engine) then most likely you cannot re-use your Ansible scripts as you've been writing for vagrant. As it may be possible to use Ansible to deploy on GAE, most people I know are using standard google procedure to deploy their app.
If you plan to use GCE (Google Compute Engine, a layer down in the infrastructure), you would be able to use your existing Ansible provisioning scripts (maybe with slight modification), follow along the Ansible documentation
I'm deploying a django (python) application. I wondered what is the best way to deploy it. With microsoft azure or Amazon Elastic Beanstalk ?
The application just needs to view data from a database. What are (dis)advantages of azure or elastic beanstalk?
I'm using OSX 10.9.5 and Python 3.4.3
As Gaurav Mantri said, you need to provide more details - atleast the OS you are using. Some more surfing could lead you here :
What's the recommended way to deploy a Django app on IIS?
For web apps, Azure has Azure App Service. Deployment can be done through a variety of ways, including FTP, git, or from Visual Studio. Since you're using Mac, I would recommend deploying via git.
To do so, first create a web app in the Azure portal, and then follow the steps here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-publish-source-control/
The advantages of Azure App Service, is that you can easily scale your app to many machines, and everything is taken care for you. Note that depending on how you've configured your database, you would have to deploy that separately.
Also, if you want to test Azure App Service, you can easily create a small sample Django application, using the Azure gallery. See the screen shot below.
Azure Web Apps provide a volume of ways for deployment your web applications. We can leverage tools/IDEs including FTP tools , Visual Studio and WebMatrix on Windows for remoting and modifying your web site code, and leverage repository for continuous deployment including local GIT, GITHUB, Visual Studio Online, Dropbox, Bitbucket.
It depends which way you prefer to.
As # theadriangreen mentioned, Azure Web Apps provide Django template for a quick start, you can simply create a Django application and pull the code to local leveraging the methods above.
Beside Continuous deployment using GIT in Azure App Service, you also can refer to Creating web apps with Django in Azure for more information.
I have an app already running on Django, the tutorials and documentation pre-assumes the starting of a completely new instance of Django with the default Edx installation.
I am working on an application where the Django Instances serve multiple sites and the management wants to serve another site with the same app with Edx. What is the recommended Strategy to handle this?, How can I integrate a new Edx instance with an existing Django app?, is there any tutorial or documentation handling this case?
OpenEdx is a very complicated django application, it requires a medium sized server to run in a minimal configuration, and it has a big list of dependencies.
It is not practical nor easy to integrate OpenEdx with existing django applications.
If you definitely need to integrate some other application with this, then your best course of action is to install openedx ona subdomain and use a feature of OpenEdx called marketing site (feature flag: ENABLE_MKTG_SITE) and use this to integrate some of the edx pages with an external website. This would not require that the other site is a django based project.
What are the different options, with pros and cons, for periodically adding records to a Django app hosted on GAE?
Use a custom django management command on the remote datastore
Write an API in Django that exposes the datastore to be updated
Use a cron task on GAE to update
(am I missing anything else?)
1: Custom Django management command on "remote"
I'm currently using #1: django-nonrel on GAE and using custom management/django-admin commands for my models. For example, this is how I call my custom management command on the remote datastore:
manage.py remote mycommand
The advantage of this command is ease of development: I can test the the management command locally and simply add "remote" to use it on GAE.
2: Write an API in Django that exposes the datastore
I would have to use an extra server with cron to update.
3: Use a cron task in Google
I don't know how GAE likes having its users run a scraper periodically. Also, GAE doesn't have a real cron -- it simply hits a URL at a set intervals.
Use a cron job. That's what they're designed for. Whether or not scraping is okay depends on the terms of service on the site you're scraping.
