Preparation

1. Make your own Python 2.5 and put its bin directory first in your PATH.

2. Install latest setuptools into that Python.

3. Use that Python’s bin/easy_install to install virtualenv.

4. Read the repoze.bfg Introduction and perform the steps in the Installing repoze.bfg and Creating a repoze.bfg Project sections, using the bfg_zodb Paster template!!:

   $ paster create -t bfg_zodb
   

   Name your project FeedsTool.

   Note

   If you have trouble installing repoze.bfg due to compilation issues for lxml and libxml2, try the following command:

   $ STATIC_DEPS=true easy_install lxml

   This installs the lxml package directly, giving it options for getting a new, up-to-date version of libxml2.

5. Consider running the source bin/activate to make your shell environment wired to use the virtualenv.

6. Make sure you do the testing step and the startup step at the end of the “Creating a Project” section.

7. Read the repoze.lemonade docs.
