I have rudimentary understanding of static files and have worked to get custom "static-assets" and default "static" working as expected on my local machine.

I have .gitignore filtering out static and assumed I would need to run collectstatic on PA account (note: the static-assets is checked into BitBucket and comes over with git pull)

When I run collectstatic in my PA bash I get the following error:

ImportError: No module named django_extensions

I believe the root issue is that if I run pip install -r requirements.txt it blows up with:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/shutil_backports'

I commented out appnope in requirments (I guess it was there when I froze on MacOS . . . I go back and forth between Mac and PC) . . I don't know all the packages that are in there so I will put my requirements.txt below:

hmm . . . ok . . . i see the update to the graphic i made that i expected collectstatic to collect and make live on site. so, this isn't a showstopper issue but any insight into what's going on or how i am likely doing things wrong appreciated. virtual cookies for sure :-p

thanks glenn. maybe i forget to recreate virtualenv on the server. i definitely filter out the virtualenv bits via gitignore. this is the right direction. thanks much! pythonanywhere is super nifty.
