The compiler in Mavericks has deprecated specific flags, which can have problems compiling Python modules with C extension, so do the following before moving to the INSTALL section export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
Remember to sudo -E to load environment variables if doing sudo pip install
First, make yourself a virtual env, and then pip install -r requirements.txt
Before you can run the unit tests, you must copy settings-template.py to settings.py and edit the content
Once that's done, you're ready to test and deploy
In order to run the tests, you have to have a dev server up and running at http://localhost:8080
Once the server is started, you can run all the tests from the gae directory with
nosetests --with-gae
See HowTo-Authentication.txt for details on setting up authentication
Note that you can disable authentication by setting ENFORCE_AUTH in settings.py
You cannot test authenticaion with the dev server, so when running on the dev server, authentication is disabled automatically in settings.py so that the unit tests will run successfully.
To test authentication, you have to run against a live instance in Google App Engine. To do this, deploy the app to GAE, and then use smoketest.py to validate that everything works.

Note that the email address you pass in to the smoke test much match up with one of the CLIENT IDS in the allowed_client_ids property in the api declaraton in geofeed_api.py and taskqueue_api.py
