1. pysmvt project -t pysapp <myapp> replace <myapp> with your project name

2. answer the questions that come up

3. write down “Login Details”, referred to hereafter as <user> & <pass>

4. cd <myapp>-dist

5. python setup.py -q develop

6. cd <myapp>

7. pysmvt broadcast initdb setup the database tables

8. pysmvt broadcast initapp setup the database tables

9. pysmvt broadcast initmod <user> let modules set themselves up, use the settings profile for your user

10. pysmvt serve <user> run a development http server with the user’s settings profile

Current Status

We are currently in an alpha phase which means lots of stuff can change, maybe rapidly, and we are not interested in backwards compatibility at this point.

I am currently using this library for some production websites, but I wouldn’t recommend you do that unless you really know what you are doing.
