A Code for Life repository

• Ocado Technology's Code for Life initiative has been developed to inspire the next generation of computer scientists and to help teachers deliver the computing curriculum.
• This repository hosts the source code of the main website: the portal for the Code For Life initiative, the registration/log in, the teachers' dashboards, the teaching materials, etc
• The other repos for Code For Life:
  • the first game, Rapid Router
  • the new game for teenagers, currently at a very early stage
  • the deployment code for Google App Engine

Running Locally

• Clone the repo
• Make and activate a virtualenv (We recommend virtualenvwrapper)
  • e.g. the first time, mkvirtualenv -a path/to/codeforlife-portal codeforlife-portal
  • and thereafter workon codeforlife-portal
• ./run - This will:
  • install all of the dependencies using pip
  • sync the database
  • collect the static files
  • run the server

Common Problems

Unapplied migrations on first run

It may be that some migrations were changed and you have .pyc files from the old ones. Try removing all .pyc migrations by running rm migrations/*.pyc from the ocargo repository.
