sequential, oldest first.

bootstrapping

• omg tons of docs
• omg repeats internally / externally... lemme fix that...
• code?
• ok, what deps are required? wait.. how does python pathing work? oh, i can just put it in my python_path, cool
• wait, this says i need to install a friggin million things.
• I Hate Everything Python Right Now.
• I bootstrapped a wicked python env in my homedir.

mkdir -p ~/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages
vi ~/.bashrc 
>> export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages
>> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:~/bin:~/local/bin
. ~/.bashrc 

curl -L 'http://pypi.python.org/packages/2.4/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg#md5=260a2be2e5388d66bdaee06abec6342a' > setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg
sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg --prefix=~/local
easy_install --prefix=~/local pip
easy_install --prefix=~/local virtualenv

• ok, now what again? Oh yeah, virtualenv for pyogp... the point of this...
  • virtualenv . --no-site-packages
  • bin/python bootstrap.py
  • bin/buildout -v
  • oh, so virtualenv is preventing the very borknorking i am trying to prevent to my system. Fair game.

bootstrap / sanity verification

• bin/client_unittest
  • FAILBOAT
  • pip -E . greenlet
  • bin/client_unittest
  • now a bunch of crazy shit instead of tracebacks, that's... good?
  • 114 tests and 0 failures! that's good!

initial investigations

• vi src/pyogp.lib.base/pyogp/lib/base/tests/base.py
  • everything starts with login, even with base. What about the delicious primitives i crave?
  • ls -l is your friend. There are subfolders in src/pyogp.lib.base/pyogp/lib/base/, namely one named network, and one named message.
