Etiquette is a tag-based file organization system with a web front-end. Etiquette is a tag-based file organization system with a web front-end.
#### Setting up ### Setting up
I have not made a setup.py yet. So you must make the `etiquette` package importable in one of two ways: I have not made a setup.py yet. So I use a filesystem junction / symlink to make etiquette appear in my python lib folder.
- By editing your `PYTHONPATH` environment variable. Note that the path refers to the Etiquette repository location and not the `etiquette` package folder: <details><summary><strong>Setting up via symlink</strong></summary>
Windows: `set "PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;D:\Git\Etiquette"` Note the semicolon to delimit paths. To make permanent, use the Environment Variable editor or the `setx` command. The editor is better. - The repository you're looking at right now is `D:\Git\Etiquette`. The toplevel `etiquette` folder is the main package. We want this package to be a child of our existing lib directory.

Linux: `PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/home/Owner/Git/Etiquette"` Note the colon to delimit paths. To make permanent, add the export to your bashrc. - Make the symlink:

- The repository you're looking at right now is `D:\Git\Etiquette`. The toplevel `etiquette` folder is the main package. We want the repository to be treated as an alternative lib directory, because the package is a child of it.
Windows: `set "PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;D:\Git\Etiquette"`

This only applies to the current cmd session. To make it permanent, use Windows's Environment Variable editor or the `setx` command. The editor is easier to use.

1. Use the PYTHONPATH technique to make `etiquette` and `etiquette_flask` both importable. Symlinking into the lib is not as convenient here because the server relies on the static files and jinja templates relative to the code's location. 1.

You may notice that Etiquette doesn't have a version number anywhere. That's because I don't think it's ready for one. I am using this project to learn and practice, and breaking changes are very common. You may notice that Etiquette doesn't have a version number anywhere.
