• Ocado Technology's Code for Life initiative has been developed to inspire the next generation of computer scientists and to help teachers deliver the computing curriculum.
• This repository hosts the source code of the main website: the portal for the Code For Life initiative, the registration/log in, the teachers' dashboards, the teaching materials, etc
• The other repos for Code For Life:
  • the first game, Rapid Router
  • the new game for teenagers, currently at a very early stage
  • the deployment code for Google App Engine

• Clone the repo. Fork it first if you want to contribute, or make sure you work on separate branches.
• Make and activate a virtualenv (We recommend virtualenvwrapper)
  • e.g. the first time, mkvirtualenv -a path/to/codeforlife-portal codeforlife-portal
  • and thereafter workon codeforlife-portal
  • create settings file under example_project/example_project/local_settings.py with EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
• ./run - This will:
  • install all of the dependencies using pip
  • sync the database
  • collect the static files
  • run the server

It may be that some migrations were changed and you have .pyc files from the old ones. Try removing all .pyc migrations by running rm migrations/*.pyc from the ocargo repository.
