Silme:Tutorial:Setting up environment

Overview

This section explains how to set up an environment to work with silme.

Requirements

You need Python 2.5. Nothing more. For serveral IOClients and FormatParsers you will need additional modules like MySQLdb for MySQL, pysqlite for SQLite, pysvn for SVN etc.

Linux and MacOS

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/users/zbraniecki_mozilla.com/silme

And then you can write first example.py:

1. !/usr/bin/python

sys.path.append('./lib')

from silme.core import Entity

def test():

 entity = Entity('id, 'value')

if __name__ == "__main__":

 test()

You can also checkout from HG ./silme/scripts to see examples. (launch from the directory above ./scripts, like: ./scripts/test.py)

Windows

Not sure... didn't try... should require nothing more than Python.

Next, let's take a closer look at the basic particles in the system - entities.
