Python 2

This project runs Python 2 because it's an old project and also to annoy some people.

requirements.txt

requirements.txt is for Heroku. If you try to pip install -r requirements.txt for local development you may get the following error caused by installing psycopg:

Collecting psycopg2==2.6.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 6))

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-FRFq2C/psycopg2/

That's why you use requirements-dev.txt for local development.

Other useful info (especially for beginners)

Indent standard = 4 spaces

project root - This is the folder where all files relating to the project and its apps are stored. Path = /pdpdmeetup/

project app - This is the core app for the project. Essentially its just the first app that got created and often contains core logic or shared files such as common templates. Path = /pdpdmeetup/pdpdmeetup/

Templates are split into two locations.

1. Project templates which are shared amongst all apps are stored under the project app's templates folder Path = /pdpdmeetup/pdpdmeetup/templates

2. App templates which are app specific (where app1 is the app name) Path = pdpdmeetup/app1/templates
