How can I deploy Django projects with minimal installation work?

Question

To deploy a site with Python / Django / MySQL, I had to do this on a server (RedHat Linux):

• Install MySQLPython
• Install ModPython
• Django installation (using python setup.py installation)
• Add some directives to the httpd.conf file (or use .htaccess)

But, when I deployed another site with PHP (using CodeIgniter), I had nothing to do. I ran into some problems when deploying a Django project on a shared server. Now my questions are:

• Is it possible to simplify the process of deploying a Django project?
• Am I doing too much?
• Can I skip some of the steps?
• What is the best way to deploy a django site on a shared server?
