This document describes how to set up the TwistedQuotes application used in a number of other documents, such as mktap plugins and designing Twisted applications.

Setting up the TwistedQuotes project directory

In order to run the Twisted Quotes example, you will need to do the following:

  1. Make a TwistedQuotes directory on your system
  2. Place the following files in the TwistedQuotes directory:
  3. Add the TwistedQuotes directory's parent to your Python path. For example, if the TwistedQuotes directory's path is /tmp/TwistedQuotes add /tmp to your Python path. On UNIX this would be export PYTHONPATH=/my/stuff:$PYTHONPATH, on Microsoft Windows change the PYTHONPATH variable through the Systems Properites dialog to add /my/stuff; at the beginning.
  4. Test your package by trying to import it in the Python interpreter:
    Python 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 20 2002, 22:45:31) 
    [GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
    Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import TwistedQuotes
    >>> # No traceback means you're fine.
