If all goes well, you should get a message something like this:

Nova development uses virtualenv to track and manage Python dependencies while in development and testing.
Nova development uses virtualenv to track and manage Python dependencies while in development and testing. Virtual env gives you an independent Python environment.
To activate the Nova virtualenv for the extent of your current shell session
you can run:
::
$ source .nova-venv/bin/activate
you can run::
$ source .nova-venv/bin/activate
Or, if you prefer, you can run commands in the virtualenv on a case by case
basis by running:
::
$ tools/with_venv.sh <your command>
basis by running::
$ tools/with_venv.sh <your command>
Also, make test will automatically use the virtualenv.
If you don't want to create a virtualenv every time you branch (which takes a while as long as we have the large Twisted project as a dependency) you can reuse a single virtualenv for all branches.
1. If you don't have a nova/ directory containing trunk/ and other branches, do so now.
2. Go into nova/trunk and install a virtualenv.
3. Move it up a level: mv nova/trunk/.nova-venv nova/.nova-venv
4. Symlink the ../nova/.nova-venv directory from your branch
::
~/openstack/nova/my_branch$ ln -s ../.nova-venv .nova-venv
#. If you don't have a nova/ directory containing trunk/ and other branches, do so now.
#. Go into nova/trunk and install a virtualenv.
#. Move it up a level: mv nova/trunk/.nova-venv nova/.nova-venv.
#. Symlink the ../nova/.nova-venv directory from your branch::
~/openstack/nova/my_branch$ ln -s ../.nova-venv .nova-venv
This works with run_tests.sh and nosetests -w nova/tests/api

Initial Code Setup:
::
bzr branch lp:nova
cd nova
python tools/install_venv.py
source .nova_venv/bin/activate
pip install pep8 # submitting patch so that Nova has pep8 and pylint in PIP requirements file
pip install pylint
Here's how to setup the code initially::
bzr branch lp:nova
cd nova
python tools/install_venv.py
source .nova_venv/bin/activate
pip install pep8 # submitting patch so that Nova has pep8 and pylint in PIP requirements file
pip install pylint
If you have installed OpenSSL 1.0.0a on MacOS, which can happen when installing a MacPorts package for OpenSSL, you will see an error when running nova.tests.auth_unittest.AuthTestCase.test_209_can_generate_x509. The version that functions correctly is OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5, installed with MacOS 10.6 as a base element.

Here's how to get the latest code::
cd nova
bzr pull # get the latest stuff...
source .nova_venv/bin/activate
./run_tests.sh
