Add a setup.py and requirements.txt

[pbui]

Add a setup.py script that installs yldme and related files to a suitable system location.

• Add requirements.txt that lists dependencies
• Add setup.py that install script and data support files in the proper location
• Modify yldme.py to search appropriate locations for support files

[noah-yoshida]

What are you referring to by 'support files'? The stuff in assets/?

[pbui]

Yes, both assets and templates need to be put somewhere so that yldme.py can find them at run-time.

I'm not sure what the best practice is for Python applications, but that is something we should lookup and follow.

So you want setup.py to not simply clone the repo then?

[noah-yoshida]

I think the standards are different for different frameworks - Django and Flask have different conventions iirc

No, it should install yldme.py to something like /usr/bin and the support files to /usr/share/.

[noah-yoshida]

Is there any reason that ~/.config/yldme/db was chosen as the db path? Would it make more sense to keep it within the project directory?

[pbui]

On Linux/Unix user settings generally should go in ~/.config/<project>/. This should be configurable though.

[noah-yoshida]

Would the db be considered a user setting though?

[pbui]

Would the db be considered a user setting though?

Yes, its location would be a user setting.

PyYaml is missing from requirements.txt
