---------------------------------------

             Summary: Add 'scripts' to the setup.py to support ocw-ui, and 
ocw-cli
                 Key: CLIMATE-383
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-383
             Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build process, command line interface, webapp
    Affects Versions: 0.3-incubating
            Reporter: Cameron Goodale
            Assignee: Cameron Goodale
             Fix For: 0.4


After seeing the following presentation at my local Python User Group:
http://slid.es/edwardliaw/python-packaging

I started thinking of all the ways that OCW's setup.py can be used to make it 
easier for new users to make use of the OCW CLI and WebApp.

The goal for this issue is having a setup.py where a user can download the 
source code and run:

{code}
$ python setup.py install
{code}

That will install ocw into their python's location for 3rd party libs, meaning 
people can write python programs that can simply import ocw.

The other goal is to enable users to also run common commands as scripts on 
their machine without worrying about being in the 'right location'.

The two scripts I want to add in are:

ocw_ui  # Launches the WebApp
ocw_cli # Launches the Command Line Interface

Documentation on how to perform these actions will also be part of this JIRA, 
and will be added to the CLIMATE wiki page.
