It’s a good idea to run ameh in a virtualenv, especially during development. The short version:
$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
$ mkvirtualenv ameh
Python packages needed for development are listed in dev-req.txt; you can install them with pip like so:
$ pip install -r dev-req.txt
Due to the preponderance of really old Python versions in enterprise environments like CentOS, the code in ameh is designed to be compatible with Python 2.4. If you contribute new code to ameh, please avoid using features from newer versions of Python.
Unit tests are in the tests directory. You can run them with py.test like this:
$ py.test
