Danmaku video

1. Pre-install

---

To compile and run the codes, you need:

• django-1.5.1
• python-2.7

Note:

1. In the settings.py, set DEBUG=True in order to

python manage.py runserver

2. If you'd like to start with an empty database

rm danmaku.db
python manage.py syncdb

3. There are two accounts in danmaku.db, the (username, passwd) pairs are:

• (koyabr, 123)
• (tc, 123)

The Makefile is used for epydoc, I've already generate a docstrings directory. Want to regenerate? Make sure epydoc is installed, or you should:

pip install epydoc

or download from http://epydoc.sourceforge.net

Now generate documents by:

make clean
make
