A free site with the modest aim of modernizing democracy. Polinax is written in Python using the Django and Pinax projects as a base. Please join the discussion Group.

PINAX BASED DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

projects/

polinax/ currently includes the laws and notification apps

apps/

external_apps/ external re-usable apps via svn:externals local_apps/ re-usable apps that aren't yet externalized

libs/

external_libs/ contains external libraries

docs/ documentation (using rst and sphinx; in progress) fixtures/ test fixtures (in progress)

There is some path manipulation in manage.py to get this all to work. You'll need to do something similar in your wsgi or mod_python configuration.

To install the required external libraries and pass run:

git pull easy_install virtualenv easy_install pip pip install -r polinax/requirements/external_apps.txt

Things should just work out of the box. You can cd into project/polinax and run ./manage.py syncdb and ./manage.py runserver to get running immediately.
