Setup virtual env for appengine with python 2.5

mkappenginevenv.sh

#!/bin/bash
# 
# Build a virtual environment suitable for running appengine. 
# This uses virtualenvwrapper to make the virtual environment.
# Which you can activate with 'workon appengine'
#
# Everyone loves one-liners!
# Mac one-liner:
#   $ curl -s https://raw.github.com/gist/1012769 | bash
# 
# Ubuntu one-liner:
#   $ sudo apt-get install curl && curl -s https://raw.github.com/gist/1012769 | bash
#
#
# Install steps:
# 1) Checks for virtualenvwrapper and install if needed.
# 2) Activates virtualenvwrapper and creates $WORKON_HOME
# 3) Makes 'appengine' virtual environment
# 4) Downloads and extracts google appengine source
# 5) pip installs a few extra packages
# 
# Ubuntu Install Help
# 1) First Install python2.5, python-setuptools
# 2) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
# 3) sudo apt-get update
# 4) sudo apt-get install curl python-setuptools python2.5
#
