I've been helping a few folks out on IRC lately. They've wanted to know how to setup Twisted and Divmod without doing any installs, running directly from SVN. They've been in luck, because that's actually how we develop at Divmod :-)
Here are the Cliff Notes (this stuff is available on the wikis, but it's spread out):

Here are the Cliff Notes (this stuff is available on the wikis, but it's spread out):
Install the dependencies:
pycrypto 2.0Get the Divmod code first (we'll get Twisted next):
SQLite 3.2.1
PySQLite 2.0
PyTZ 2005m-1
PIL 1.1.6
Set the Combinator env vars (if you want to persist this, then you'll need to put it in your .profile or shell .rc file):mkdir ~/lab cd ~/lab svn co http://divmod.org/svn/Divmod/trunk Divmod/trunk
Have Combinator start "tracking" Divmod and Twisted, thus managing PYTHONPATH for them (note that chbranch will detect that Twisted has not been checked out and will do so automatically):eval `python ~/lab/Divmod/trunk/Combinator/environment.py`
Get the new project dirs into the env:chbranch Divmod trunk chbranch Twisted trunk svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/Twisted/trunk
Executing the whbranch command should give you the following:eval `python ~/lab/Divmod/trunk/Combinator/environment.py`
If you start up a Python interpreter, you'll be able to import from twisted, mantissa, axiom, etc.Divmod: trunk Twisted: trunk

I can't tell you how happy I am to have run across this post. I've been putting off setting up a Mantissa stack for nearly three weeks, somewhat amazed that I wasn't able to find a quick-start. I am optimistic and excited to be on the brink of exploring the Divmod suite as my introduction to Python ...
thx!

Grant, note that I've updated the post with edits from Glyph; the steps are now even shorter and easier :-)
Still muckin' around with that Combinator silliness? Isn't it about time to move to a real DVCS? And when you do, don't you *dare* using anything else than Mercurial! ;-)
Well, we've talked about switching to bzr :-) We'd have to port our tools and deal with trac, though...
Even if we used hg or bzr, we'd have to rewrite Combinator to work with them.
The only thing that would really change in these instructions if svn was replaced with bzr or hg is that "svn co" would become "hg clone" or "bzr branch".
the divmod code's now hosted on launchpad, so the checkout command is now:
bzr branch lp:divmod.org
then make sure that combinator is found in a Divmod/trunk folder structure, this works for me:
mkdir Divmod
mv divmod.org Divmod/trunk
