Using a Virtualenv is recommended.

This assumes MySQL as a backend, so you'll need mysql_config installed. Consult your OS documentation for how to do that. If you're using a different SQL backend, modify requirements.txt to use the appropriate Python bindings.

virtualenv ~/venv/xwlists
. ~/venv/xwlists/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

mysql < dbs/prod.sql

In development mode, so you can see meaningful error messages:

LOCAL_DB_URL='mysql://localhost/sozin$lists' python xwlists.py dev

Note, if you get the following error on application startup:

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so, 2): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/_mysql.so Reason: image not found

You'll need to set this env variable:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/
