- You must make the `etiquette` package importable by placing it in one of your lib paths because I have not made a setup.py yet. Rather than actually moving the folder I just use filesystem junctions.
- Run `python etiquette_flask_launch.py [port]` to launch the flask server. Port defaults to 5000 if not provided.
- Run `python -i etiquette_repl_launch.py` to launch the Python interpreter with the PhotoDB pre-loaded into a variable called `P`. Try things like `P.new_photo` or `P.digest_directory`.
- Note: Do not `cd` into the frontends folder. Stay wherever you want the photodb to be created, and start the frontend by specifying full file path of the launch file.

### Project structure
Here is a brief overview of the project
Here is a brief overview of the project to help you learn your way around:
- `etiquette`
The core backend package.
- `constants`
Strings, messages, column layouts, and other things that are constant during runtime.
- `decorators`
Function decorators.
- `exceptions`
Exception classes.
- `helpers`
A variety of small, useful functions that wouldn't belong as a method on any class.
- `jsonify`
Toolkit for serializing the Etiquette objects as JSON.
- `objects`
Definition of the Etiquette data objects like Photos and Tags.
- `photodb`
Definition of the PhotoDB class and its Mixins.
- `searchhelpers`
A variety of validation, normalization, and processing functions used to handle search queries.
- `tag_export`
Toolkit for exporting a PDB's tagset into a different formats e.g. varying levels of nesting or depicting tags with their full qualified names.
- `frontends`
Ideally the backend should be frontend-agnostic. Even though the Flask interface is my primary interest, it should not feel like it must be the only one. Therefore I place it in this folder to indicate that other frontends are possible too.

Therefore I place it in this folder to indicate that other frontends are possible too. Every folder here is essentially a completely separate project.
- `etiquette_flask`
This folder represents the flask server as somewhat of a black box, in the sense that you can move it around and just run the contained launch file.

- `etiquette_flask`
This is the package that contains all of the site's actual API code.
- `static`
User-facing, static, cacheable content like CSS, JS, and graphics.
- `templates`
Jinja HTML templates, including reusable subunits as macros.
The package that contains the site's actual API code.
- `etiquette_repl`
Preloads a few variables into the interpreter so you can quickly test functions within the Python REPL itself.
- `utilities`
