I'm running it on my local Mac. I'm a Python developer at heart; so, I already had the tools and knew exactly what to do when I saw it.
1. I don't use Apple's out-of-date Python. Instead I use
homebrew to "brew install python" and use that instead.
2. I don't install requiresments.txt packages into my root Python library path. Instead, I use
virtual environments. In addition, I use
virtualenvwrapper to manage my various virtual environments because I tend to be working on several Python projects at any given time.
I haven't backgrounded/daemonized it, but I figure I can just run it in a screen session. For now I just run it in the foreground shell to play with it.
