    Are you trying to combine WebSockets or realtime communication with Django? I'd look at Cody Soyland's excellent work on this. http://codysoyland.com/2011/feb/6/evented-django-part-one-so... or look at the Django example in gevent-socketio https://github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio

  3. > ssh prod-db > mysqldump what-i-need > file.sql > exit > scp prod-db:file.sql .

  5. Not sure if it exists in other platforms but with Django, some people have experimented with two-phased template rendering as described here: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/django-two-phased-rendering/ and there's a permissive license (BSD, I think) implementation: http://codysoyland.com/projects/django-phased/documentation/...
