Calling django-admin like that won't use the virtualenv.

 

touch /etc/xyz/south_migrations_complete

deactivate

rm -rf ~/old_django

Latest version of this:

=== cut ===

#!/bin/sh

set -ex

TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)

trap "rm -rf -- '$TMPDIR'" EXIT HUP INT TERM

virtualenv --system-site-packages "$TMPDIR"

. "$TMPDIR/bin/activate"

pip install django==1.6.5

pip install south

python /usr/bin/django-admin -smyapp.settings migrate "$@"

=== cut ===

Note that I have explicitly called python. This ensures Python 3 not used (not supported by South + the virtualenv is Python 2 only) and that we get the python from the virtualenv.

I have tested this and it appears to work, although the above was changed not to be specific to my app.
