Make sure you have libgmp, libssl, and the Python development headers installed:

sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev

On Windows, make sure that the proper Visual Studio path is configured:

SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS%  # MSVS 2010
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS%  # MSVS 2012

pip install git+https://github.com/rackerlabs/python-cloudbackup-sdk

Some simple guidelines:

• Unit tests for new features
• Keep the code clean - pep8
• Be wary of warnings and errors - pylint
• 100% code coverage - keep it strong
