From your libs root, do this:
git clone --recursive git://host/python-proj-libs.git vendor
Sit back and relax while all that downloads, then proceed on your merry way.
To keep it up to date:
pushd vendor && git pull && git submodule update --init && popd
How cbdway-libs was made
pip install -I --src='vendor/src' -r requirements/dev.txt
# Create the .pth file so Python can find our src libs.
find src -type d -depth 1 >> vendor.pth
# Add all the submodules.
for f in src/*; do
pushd $f >/dev/null && REPO=$(git config remote.origin.url) && popd > /dev/null && git submodule add $REPO $f
done
git add .
Using your own lib
We add these lines to our manage.py file
import site
site.addsitedir('vendor')
site.addsitedir('vendor/lib/python')
