This Python script provides very basic deployment functionality for simple, code-only updates and does not include database support.
The script, in a few words, does the following:

• Executes an SVN export on the trunk or branch of a repository
• Connects to an FTP server and uploads all files (and directories) that have a newer modification timestamp

To use the script you must configure your SVN repository root (in exupconfig.py) and FTP server credentials (by executing ftpaccounteditor.py). The FTP server credentials are saved in a local file (at a path defined in exupconfig.py). You have the option of encrypting any FTP password you save with the credentials; the encryption is handled by m2crypto module and requires a key (which you will be prompted for).

To download it, or clone the github repo go here.

Example (in a bash terminal):

# clone (or download and extract) the three files (exup.py, exupconfig.py & ftpaccounteditor.py)
git clone git@github.com:janeklb/exup.git
cd exup
vi exupconfig.py # edit exupconfig.py to match your settings
ftpaccounteditor.py # follow the inline instructions to add your FTP account settings
exup.py # and enter the repository you would like to deploy
