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.
Linux: `PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/home/Owner/Git/Etiquette"` Note the colon to delimit paths. To make permanent, add the export to your bashrc.
- By placing it in one of your lib paths, or using filesystem junctions to make it appear in a lib path. Note that this time, the path does refer to the package itself.
The easiest way to find your lib path is `python -c "import os; print(os)"`.
- 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.
- The easiest way to find your lib path is `python -c "import os; print(os)"`.
- Make the symlink:
Windows: `mklink /J fakepath realpath`
for example `mklink /J "C:\Python36\Lib\etiquette" "D:\Git\Etiquette\etiquette"`

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

- 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.

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.

### Project stability
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.
