Introduction
============
This is a python module consisting of extensions to the Twisted Framework
(http://twistedmatrix.com/).

Installation
============
Python version 2.7 is supported.
This library is can be built using the standard distutils mechanisms.
It is also registered with the Python Package Index (PyPI) as ``twextpy``
(the name ``twext`` is used by another module in PyPI) for use with ``pip`` and
``easy_install``::
pip install twextpy
This will build and install the ``twext`` module along with its base
dependencies. This library has a number of optional features which must be
specified in order to download build and install their dependencies, for
example::
pip install twextpy[DAL,Postgres]
These features are:
DAL
Enables use of the Database Abstraction Layer implemented in
``twext.enterprise.dal``.
LDAP
Enables support for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol in
``twext.who.ldap``.
OpenDirectory
Enables support for the (Mac OS) OpenDirectory framework in
``twext.who.opendirectory``.
Oracle
Enables support for Oracle database connectivity in ``twext.enterprise`` and
Oracle syntax in ``twext.enterprise.dal``.
Postgres
Enables support for Postgres database connectivity in ``twext.enterprise``.
Development
===========
If you are planning to work on this library, you can manage this with standard
distutils mechanisms. There are, however, some tools in the ``bin`` directory
which automate this management for you.
To use these tools, you must have ``pip`` on your system.
If you do not have ``pip``, instructions for installing it are at
http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html.
The script ``install_pip`` (requires ``sudo`` access) automates this for you.
The shell script ``develop`` downloads and builds any dependancies and sets up a
development environment. ``develop`` handles non-Python as well as Python
dependancies.
The tools ``python``, ``pyflakes``, ``trial``, and ``twistd`` are wrappers
around the cooresponding commands that use ``develop`` to ensure that
dependancies are available, ``PYTHONPATH`` is set up correctly, etc.
``test`` runs all of the unit tests and does linting. It should be run before
checking in any code.
