1. Setup :

   • Create a virtual env
     • install python-virtualenv
     • Go into the folder of the git repository and use virtualenv --no-site-packages venv
   • Install configs/requirements.txt
     • use

        pip install -r config/requirements.txt
       

     • and then to make sure of all versions

        pip install -r config/requirements.txt --upgrade
       

   • Install libmysqlclient-dev python-dev if not already installed
   • Modify configs/settings.sample.py to configs/settings.py with appropriate modifications

2. TastyPie :

   • Till now, tastypie(v1.11) has some issues with through tables.

   • Need to replace (in the save_m2m function ~line 2300):

      related_mngr.add(*related_objs)
     

     with :

      if hasattr(related_mngr, 'add'):
      	related_mngr.add(*related_objs)
      else:
      	# handle m2m with a "through" class
      	for other_obj in related_objs:
      		related_mngr.through.objects.get_or_create(**{
      			related_mngr.source_field_name: bundle.obj,
      			related_mngr.target_field_name: other_obj
      		})
     

3. apiclient :

   • There is a possibility that this error will occur in apiclient ImportError: from apiclient import __version__
   • Fix: add __version__ = '1.0.2' to apiclient/__init.py
