## Setup

To run this app locally:

* Create a virtual env

* Create a DB called *pytip* (I use Postgres)

* Add env variables to venv/bin/activate:

	* Twitter API: CONSUMER_KEY / CONSUMER_SECRET / ACCESS_TOKEN / ACCESS_SECRET

	* DATABASE_URL = 'postgres://user:pw@localhost:5432/pytip' (tests use pytip_tests)

	* If your run it on Heroku set APP_LOCATION to *heroku* (similar deployment instructions as [prchecker](https://github.com/pybites/prchecker))

* Install the dependencies:

		pip install -r requirements.txt

* Get the [python_tip](https://twitter.com/python_tip) tweets:

		(venv) $ python tasks/import_tweets.py

* To run the tests create a postgres DB called *pytip_test*, then:

		(venv) $ pytest

		===  test session starts ===

		platform darwin -- Python 3.6.1, pytest-3.2.3, py-1.4.34, pluggy-0.4.0

		rootdir: /Users/bbelderb/Documents/code/pytip, inifile:

		collected 5 items

		tests/test_tasks.py .

		tests/test_tips.py ....

		=== 5 passed in 1.04 seconds ===

* Run the Bottle app:

		(venv) $ python app.py

		Bottle v0.12.13 server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...

		Listening on http://localhost:8080/

		Hit Ctrl-C to quit.

* Enjoy!
