[python-uk] Suggestions / best practices for deployment

[Muhammad Rahman]

Hi Harry,

I would use salt(http://docs.saltstack.com/index.html) for provisioning 
and keep the python specific package to fabric to deploy using pip.

Even though salt is able to deploy pip requirements but I think this 
separation is important.

Mustafiz.
