python setup.py install

• simplejson [python 2.5]
• multiprocessing [python 2.5]
• pyinotify (linux) [all python versions]
• macfsevents (mac)

Tools required for development:

• merucrial * VCS
• py.test * unit-tests
• mock * unit-tests
• coverage * code coverage
• epydoc * API doc generator
• sphinx * doc tool
• pyflakes * syntax checker

You can use a standalone script:

python runtests.py

or use py.test :

py.test

The best way to setup an environment to develop doit itself is to create a virtualenv...:

doit$ virtualen dev
(dev)doit$ dev/bin/activate

install doit as "editable", and add development dependencies from `dev_requirements.txt`:

(dev)doit$ pip install --editable .
(dev)doit$ pip install --requirement dev_requirements.txt

doc folder contains ReST documentation based on Sphinx.

doit/doc$ make html

They are the base for creating the website. The only difference is that the website includes analytics tracking using Pwiki. To create it (after installing doit):

doit website

The website will also includes epydoc generated API documentation.
