README for unalog-python

unalog-python is a web application for use by one or more people to keep track of various net-based activities.

INSTALLATION

I haven't yet tried installing unalog anywhere other than the dev site but it should be possible without too much pain. Read the Dependencies and How-to sections below for more information.

Dependencies

unalog-python depends on the following products, so install them first. You may be able to get it working with later versions of any of these.

python-2.2
quixote-0.7a3
dulcinea-0.1
ZODB-3.2
SCGI-1.1 (optional, but unalog comes with a scgi handler, you'd have to write your own otherwise)
log4py-1.3

How-to

For now, while this is in an alpha state, you're on your own. Some hints, though:

install all the dependencies above (there might be more I haven't listed, python errors will tell you if so)
copy unalog_config.py.sample to unalog_config.py and tweak as needed
install unalog with "python setup.py install"
configure your web server to use SCGI or something equivalent
if you use SCGI, you can probably use the provide startup.sh
good luck!

If you do get it going, let me know.

THANKS

Python is a beautiful thing; thanks to everyone ever involved with making it as great as it is.

The MEMS Exchange and quixote-users folks for providing such a well-fitting toolkit and helpful support.

The onetime-linkstackers and others at /usr/lib/info who helped test and figure out features for this and its earlier incarnation and who provide constant good cheer as great professional colleagues and friends.
