Here are a few tips and tricks we've accumulated while working on the new platform. Hopefully these are helpful to new developers or other contributors who want to get Kitsune up and running to hack on it.
pip
pip is a package manager for Python that is an improvement over easy_install. It works well with virtualenv, which we also use. (In fact, virtualenv installs pip for you.)
Download Cache
A download cache can make pip install go much faster. There are just two steps to start using a download cache:
mkdir ~/.pip-cache export PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE=~/.pip-cache
You probably want to put the second line into your .bashrc (or .zshrc) file as well, so it's automatically exported when you open the terminal.
