1. Install the App Engine Python SDK. See the README file for directions. You'll need python 2.7 and pip 1.4 or later installed too.

2. Clone this repo with

   git clone https://github.com/jrgrafton/tweet-debate
   

3. Install dependencies in the project's lib directory. Note: App Engine can only import libraries from inside your project directory.

   cd <location-of-checkout>/tweet-debate
   pip install -r requirements.txt -t lib
   

4. Enable Sockets and SSL

• Create backups of /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/python/sandbox.py and /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/dis27/socket.py
• Add "_ssl" and "_socket" keys to the dictionary _WHITE_LIST_C_MODULES in /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/tools/devappserver2/python/sandbox.py
• Replace /path-to-gae-sdk/google/appengine/dis27/socket.py with the socket.py file from your Python framework.

5. Run this project locally from the command line:

   ./main.sh
   

Visit the application http://localhost:8080

See the development server documentation for options when running dev_appserver.

sh runtests.sh - All tests must pass before pushing to master

To deploy the application:

1. Use the Admin Console to create a project/app id. (App id and project id are identical)

2. Deploy the application with

   appcfg.py -A <your-project-id> app.yaml twitter_backend.yaml --oauth2 update .
   

3. Congratulations! Your application is now live at your-app-id.appspot.com
