Making a virtualenv with the latest source?

[Nick Fitzgerald]

Hello everyone!

Peter, I want to thank you for quickly pushing a fix on the Python 2.7 JSON parsing bug I ran in to.

I wanted to double check that that commit really did fix the issue for me, but I am not quite sure what the best way to go about testing the latest source. I made a fresh virtualenv but realized I can't point pip to the github repository because setup.py isn't in the root of the repository. I'd prefer not to install system wide, just to keep things clean. Is there an easy/suggested way to go about this?

Thanks!

PS: Finally finished the tutorial. Very impressed with how easy it was to get great functionality! Thanks for the great docs to help new users get up and running!

Looks like I have found the answer to my own question: servers/python/setup_devenv.py

Hi Nick,

Yep. That is the way we use. Another alternative is to follow the
regular install steps until using pip, then:

cd servers/python
pip install .

I believe this what setup_devenv.py does for you.

By the way, I was able to confirm that the bug is fixed for me.
