The development environment can be setup either like a pythonista with the usual python module setup, or like a docker user.

Ensure that you have an updated version of pip

pip --version

Should atleast be 1.5.4

If pip version is less than 1.5.4 upgrade it

pip install -U pip

This will install latest pip

Ensure that you are in virtualenv if not install virtual env

sudo pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
source venv bin/activate

This will make install all dependencies to the virtualenv not on your root

From the module folder install the dependencies. This also installs the module itself in a very pythonic way.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run app by

python app.py
