## Dash python backend

The backend doesn't serve files (yet), it only responds to HTTP calls from the web cloent. See [main README.md](../README.md) for instructions on running a local development web server.

### running a python example

```
(dash2) $ cd dash
(dash2/dash) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
Collecting click==6.6 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Collecting Flask==0.11 (from -r requirements.txt (line 2))

### Python Developer guide

#### Use `virtualenv`

Running everything in the same virtual environment ensures that you don't have
conflicts with other globally installed python packages, and in general makes
for a much more consistent development environment. You could also create
multiple virtualenvs for different versions of Dash, for instance.

##### Install the goods

```sh
$ pip install virtualenv
$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
```

##### Add to your shell's configuration

```sh
# The actual file to edit will vary depending
# on your OS, shell, and setup.
$ vi ~/.bash_profile

# Add these lines
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.py_virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
```

##### Create a virtual environment

`my-dash-env` is a name of your choosing.

```sh
$ mkvirtualenv my-dash-env
```

##### Now you can switch to this virtual environment:

```sh
$ workon my-dash-env
```

#### Debugging

Install `ipdb`:

```sh
$ pip install ipdb
```

Insert a breakpoint in your Python code:

```py
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()
```
