Python Indonesia community maps

User Map

A simple application for creating user community maps powered by Flask.

Installation

Prerequisites:

• Python 2.7.x
• PostgreSQL or MySQL database
• pip and (optional) virtualenv

Once you have all prerequisites, the following steps will bootstrap the project:

1. Grab the source code.

   git clone git://github.com/id-python/members.git
   cd members
   

2. Activate your virtual environment (or you can skip this step if you're not using virtualenv).

3. Install all dependencies using pip:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Note: the installation process may take awhile.

Development

By default, this app reads configuration from users/default_config.py. To override values set in default config, simply copy the contents of users/default_config.py and save it elsewhere.

cp users/default_config.py /path/to/custom/config.py

Then edit the custom config file, setting appropriate values as needed.

Things you might need to override:

• SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI

  Since this project tested using PostgreSQL and likely will running on MySQL as well, there's extra package you need to install to before running the app.

  • pip install psycopg2 for PostgreSQL
  • pip install mysql-python for MySQL

  Just pick one and please refer to http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/core/engines.html for details.

Ensure your database schema is up-to-date by invoking this command:

USERS_CONFIG=/path/to/custom/config.py python manage.py db upgrade

Running the app will be as simple as:

USERS_CONFIG=/path/to/custom/config.py python manage.py runserver

Each config item is overridable through environment variable. For instance, if you want to suppress email delivery, simply set appropriate value:

USERS_CONFIG=/path/to/custom/config.py USERS_MAIL_SUPPRESS_SEND=1 python manage.py runserver

Testing

NOTE: It is highly-recommended that you're creating a separate database and config file for testing.

To run testcases:

USERS_CONFIG=/path/to/custom/testing_config.py ./runtests.sh

Each config item is overridable through environment variable. For instance, if you want to suppress email delivery, simply set appropriate value:

USERS_CONFIG=/path/to/custom/testing_config.py USERS_MAIL_SUPPRESS_SEND=1 ./runtests.sh

Collaboration

1. Fork this repo.
2. Create a topic branch in your forked repo and start hacking.
3. Run runtests.sh. Ensure all tests passed.
4. Once it done, submit your pull request (PR) against upstream develop branch.
5. Our maintainers will review your PR. If it's good — all tests passed and proposed feature is in our roadmap — your PR will be merged.
