Getting Started
---------------

- Make a new python 2 virtual environment for this project

- cd <directory containing this file>

- add environment variable for database string. e.g. add this to .bashrc
  export FANTASYDOTA_DB=mysql://root:password@localhost/yourdbname

- add environment for your steam API key e.g.
  export APIKEY=38ABCDERFHJKK99988222;

- $VENV/bin/python setup.py develop (i think this makes it so that it can import fantasydota stuff. however recently i havent bothered with this and i just add the fantasy-dota-heroes folder to my pythonpath env variable)

- $VENV/bin/initialize_fantasydota_db development.ini (this script might be out of date)

- $VENV/bin/pserve development.ini --reload
