Software for Weighting Devices

Consider any moment in life that you could have been writing unit tests.
The easiest way to add features is to write a plugin. Please create an issue to discuss whether your plugin idea is a core plugin (plugins.*) or external plugin. If there are additions needed to the plugin API, we can discuss that as well!
Create a mature software for weigh in Devices based on Python and Django following this principles:
- Be pluggable and light-weight. Don't integrate optional features in the core.
- Be open. Make an extension API that allows the ecology of the software to grow.
- Be simple. The source code should almost explain itself.
OpenWeigh uses the PIL library for image processing. The preferred method should be to get a system-wide version of PIL, for instance by getting the binaries from your Linux distribution repos.
PIL Directly from repository: Debian-based Linux Distros
sudo apt-get install python-imaging
PIL/Pillow for Pypi
Firstly, you need to get development libraries that PIP needs before compiling. For instance on Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8 libjpeg-dev libpng libpng-dev
After that, choose either pip install PIL or pip install Pillow. Pillow is the pip-friendly version of PIL. You might as well install PIL system-wide, because there are little version-specific dependencies in Django applications when it comes to PIL.
To get the latest Source Code clone this repository by running:
git clone [email protected]:codeadict/IGPython.git
Be sure to have git installed on your system.
After configuring OpenWeigh the next step is to create the database used by it by running:
python manage.py syncdb
Finally, start the development server by running the following line, and to take it for a spin by opening http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
python manage.py runserver
In order for the server to be accessible from another computer you can run the following line instead:
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
