Hi, Somewhat inspired by the goals of the ``plone.api`` initiative and based on the experience of seeing many, many people struggle to get a "safe" Plone development up and running due to problems with polluted system Python interpreters, missing libraries and confusing buildouts, I have created a script called ``plone-devstart.py``.
The idea is that you can use this to instantiate a new development environment in a 'safe' way. It will perform some checks on your environment to determine the likelihood of success. It then installs a bunch of useful development tools, a basic deployment configuration, and creates a simple (non-reusable) package where you can put your custom Python code and templates. For now it lives here: https://github.com/plone/plone-devstart/ It supports Plone 4.1, though I plan to add 4.2 support shortly. You can download the one file you need here: https://github.com/plone/plone-devstart/raw/master/plone-devstart.py I've tested as much as I can, but if this is to work out for a broader audience, we need lots of people to test. If you have a particularly messed up environment, I'd like to hear about it. :) Martin
