Updates

[Azerith]

Hi there, I just started playing Eve again and have found myself as
the Accountant and investor for the corp my friends and I have set up.
One friend asked if her could have view only access to the wallets -
cant do that in game - solution? website! with API, having a
background in python/django i was trilled to find this.

After much wanting to though something at something else I managed to
work out how to get this all sorted. I now have a semi working(backend
only) django set up which i can access the admin for and see all the
lovelys, just got to work out how to use it and get the api data to
populate and display.
Any help with this would be good!
Thank you very much for developing this.


Things that could use an update -
https://github.com/gtaylor/django-eve/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.rst

advises you to use an older version of the database and the default
settings.py is set up for postgresql_psycopg2. which is fine, except
the link given for the db is the sqlite one.

Got it working simple enough just changing the settings.py to use
sqlite but thought an update was in order since, assuming this is
still active, It was a bit confusing initially.

Also, if you are going to use psycopg2 it may be worth adding the
python-dev package (another small, allbeit googleable hiccup)

You'll want to avoid django-eve-api like the plague for now, as it is out of date and woefully incomplete. Entity's API is much better: http://wiki.eve-id.net/Eveapi

Thanks for pointing these out. I'm currently spread very thin, but will accept pull requests for these fixes.
