WindyPie Description

WindyPie is a Python port of the windy Ruby Socrata API wrapper. Inspired by the Ruby Windy Socrata API wrapper.Installation InstructionsThese instructions assume that you have git (and GitHub), Python, virtualenvwrapper. Install them on your development environment if you have not done so already before continuing. If you are on a Mac, you should be able to use Homebrew to install almost everything you need. Ubuntu users can use apt-get. For reference, this applications works and was tested with the following software versions: Python 2.7First, using virtualenvwrapper, create a working directory with mkvirtualenv and cdvirtualenv into it. Then, clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/codeforamerica/windypie cd windypieThis application uses a submodule for socrata python to handle actual calls to a socrata instance (the original plan was to attempt to improve this library, too, but we will probably just rewrite it). So, this requirement will be removed in the future but, for now, you must include it by running the following commands: git submodule init git submodule updateThis pulls a forked socrata python repo from cfa's github into your dev environment.Product's homepage
