buildout.cfg or requirements.txt

[michaelwisely]

This needs something to pin down dependencies. I'm a fan of buildout, which will create a virtualenv-like development environment, which installs all dependencies for us. This way, the tool has access to necessary (and correctly versioned) packages.

A simple requirements.txt would be fine, too. Buildout is a little simpler to setup (once properly configured), and can create a dedicated script for us to use. You could be up and rolling with...

# Get the stuff
cd Documents
git clone git@github.com.../grader.git assignments
cd assignments

# Set it up
python bootstrap.py
bin/buildout

# Good 2 go
bin/grader [args]
