Open Source Python Deployment Tools

PyAppExec is a cross‑platform open-source launcher and installer that makes Python apps feel native. It locates or installs the required Python runtime, provisions an isolated virtual environment, installs your project’s pip requirements, and handles any external tools requirements or dependencies (e.g., FFmpeg) with version checks and auto-download/extract on Windows/macOS/Linux. The Qt-based installer can scaffold pyappexec.ini, copy/rename the launcher, and (on macOS) bundle a self-contained .app with icons. The optional run-time GUI captures logs, while CLI mode stays lean for automation. Config is driven by a simple INI per OS, so app IDs, entry points, requirements, and paths are declarative. PyAppExec also manages user-level caches/state, log rotation, and GUI suppression preferences letting you ship Python apps without asking end users to touch Python, virtualenvs, or package managers.

Buildbot is an open-source framework for automating software build, test, and release processes. At its core, Buildbot is a job scheduling system: it queues jobs, executes the jobs when the required resources are available, and reports the results. Your Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of workers. The masters monitor source-code repositories for changes, coordinate the activities of the workers, and report results to users and developers. Workers run on a variety of operating systems. You configure Buildbot by providing a Python configuration script to the master. This script can be very simple, configuring built-in components, but the full expressive power of Python is available. This allows dynamic generation of configuration, customized components, and anything else you can devise. The framework itself is implemented in Twisted Python, and compatible with all major operating systems.

Jenkins-Zero-To-Hero is a hands-on learning repository that teaches Jenkins from scratch, starting with installation and moving all the way to building end-to-end CI/CD pipelines. The course is designed around running Jenkins on an AWS EC2 instance, guiding you through installing Java, configuring Jenkins, and exposing it safely via security group rules. From there, it covers installing plugins like Docker Pipeline, configuring Docker as an agent, and wiring up multi-stage and multi-agent pipelines. The folder structure includes practical examples such as java-maven-sonar-argocd-helm-k8s and python-jenkins-argocd-k8s, showing real CI/CD flows that build, test, analyze, containerize, and deploy apps to Kubernetes via Argo CD in a GitOps style. The README walks through detailed step-by-step commands and screenshots, making it accessible to beginners who are unfamiliar with Jenkins, AWS, or pipelines.

NoOra is a database deployment tool which can be used to automate the database deployment cycle and is designed for agile and or devops teams. The supported database platforms are Oracle and Mysql. The support for Postgresql is work in progress. Feedback is more then welcome.

Piku is a minimalistic Platform as a Service (PaaS) that enables users to deploy applications to their own servers using simple Git push commands.

StackStorm is a platform for integration and automation for numerous services and tools. It takes actions in response to events, and is composed of a rules engine, workflow, and 160 integration packs with more than 6000 actions. This makes StackStorm very versatile, useful in a wide array of business applications. StackStorm can be used to automate and streamline nearly any part of a business. It can be used for automated remediation to immediately troubleshoot and fix problems when failures occur; it can be used for continuous deployment; it can create a fast and automated security response and so much more. StackStorm integrates with your existing processes or workflows, so there's no need to change anything. It's currently being used and trusted by a number of big enterprises, including Netflix, Cisco and NASA.

Switchboard is a port of Gargoyle, a feature flipper for Django apps, to the Pyramid or Pylons stack (including Turbogears). Originally used to selectively roll out changes to the SourceForge site, the library lets you easily control whether a particular change (a switch) is active. You can make switches active for a certain percentage of visitors, all visitors to a particular host in a cluster, or if a particular string is present in the query string. Furthermore you can easily create your own conditions to do fancier things like geo-targeting, specific users, etc. In short, Switchboard turns you into a continuous deployment ninja.

Zebrunner CE (Community Edition) is a Test Automation Management Tool for continuous testing and continuous deployment. It allows you to run various kinds of tests and gain successive levels of confidence in the code quality.
