#Lobbying.ph-django This is the active repo for Lobbying.ph, a tool to help journalists and citizens better understand and access Philadelphia lobbying reports.

The original Sinatra/Ruby version of the site (https://github.com/caseypt/lobbying.ph) was used as a prototype and is no longer maintained.

  3. Create a virtual environment: virtualenv venv
  4. Activate the virtual enviornment: $ source venv/bin/activate
  5. Install the project dependencies: $ pip install -f requirements.txt
  6. Set the following environment variables for use by Haystack:
  • BONSAI_INDEX to your ElasticSearch index name
  • BONSAI_URL to your ElasticSearch server URL, which defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8000/
  1. Create the project database: $ createdb lobbying

  3. Create the lobbyingph app tables: python manage.py migrate lobbyingph --settings=project.settings_dev
