How to install

Simple

Clone this directory, then run python setup.py develop

Better

git clone https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast.git
cd ./leapcast
sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper python-pip python-twisted-web python2.7-dev
mkvirtualenv leapcast
pip install .

*** Because updates are frequent I don't recommend normal install. When package is stable enough it will be published to python index and easy installable. *** For those on windows(tm) gaming platform dz0ny#13 (comment)
