I deploy Django apps using a fabric script that checks out a copy of my project and when everything is in place the source is symlinked and the web server is reloaded (guessing this is a typical approach).
My concern is that the first time the site gets hit after deployment all the python scripts need to be re-interpreted.
I have some bright ideas about how I might force the code to get processed before any clients hit it but I'm looking for any high-level strategies people might use to accomplish this.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
