Ergae: Earth Reader on Google App Engine

How to setup development environment

First of all you have to create a new virtual environment (of course it has to be Python 2.7):

$ virtualenv -p `which python2.7` ergae-env
$ . bin/ergae-env/activate
(ergae-env)$

There are required third-party libraries. The list of dependencies is requirements.txt. You can install them using pip in the virtual environment:

(ergae-env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Downloading/unpacking Flask>=0.10.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
...
(ergae-env)$

To manage these dependences in the sandboxed environment Google App Engine provides we have to use gaenv software:

(ergae-env)$ gaenv
gaenv
Linked: flask
...
Created /.../ergae/appengine_config.py
Added [import gaenv_lib] in [/.../ergae/appengine_config.py]
(ergae-env)$

Almost done. Lastly copy app.yaml.dist to app.yaml, and then rename its application identifier from ergae to your own unique identifier.
