Is Bondi Full Of Poodles?

Introduction

This project was done (poorly) as part of the Apps4NSW hack day on Saturday 19 Feb 2011. It aggregates data on domestic animals from the NSW state government with public information from numerous other sources, including wikipedia, and renders it all on a rather fetching google map.

The project team included:

• Diana Mounter
• Chris Oates
• Dylan Jay
• Bo Daley

Installation

We assume you already have working python, virtualenv and pip.

To install a dev instance of IBFOP, follow these steps::

mkdir apps4nsw virtualenv apps4nsw cd apps4nsw git clone [email protected]:bodico/apps4nsw.git source bin/activate cd apps4nsw pip install -r requirements.txt

Start dev server

To run a development server on your local instance::

cd project/ ./manage.py runserver

You should then see the site running at http://127.0.0.1:8000

pyCharm config

If you're using pyCharm (or some other fancy IDE) then you need to configure it to refer to the python binary in your virtualenv.

i.e. Preferences > Python Interpreter

• remove any interpreter pyCharm found by itself
• add /YOURWORKSPACE/apps4nsw/bin/python

then click 'Apply'

Go to 'Django Support' and 'Enable Django Support'.

• set Django project root as /YOURWORKSPACE/apps4nsw/apps4nsw/project

pyCharm should now find settings.py and manage.py.

Add /YOURWORKSPACE/apps4nsw/apps4nsw/templates as a templates directory.

then click 'Apply'

Create site database

Create the db::

cd project/ ./manage.py syncdb ./manage.py migrate

Load in data

If you want to get off the ground quickly, simply load the pets data fixtures::

./manage.py loaddata pets/fixtures/pets.json

Or if you need to recreate the data from scratch, run these scripts in sequence::

./manage.py geocode_postcodes ./manage.py load_dogs_by_suburb ./manage.py flatten_postcodes ./manage.py aggregate_totals
