At Bixly we were always repeating steps to setup Django environments and collaboration tools. It cost us time, and clients had to pay for it. It didn't take too long to add the commands to bash scripts. Wanting to take a step further, we moved everything over to Python and released the project in July of 2010. It's simply a tool we really like using.
