Hi Pablo, You have a great point. Getting started instructions for developers for Python SDK is not well documented. Installing Python SDK from source is a subset of this lack of documentation. There is a JIRA for this ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3075). It would be great if you can take that and add some documentation. It could also contain information on running tests, setting up an IDE etc. I think it would be better to update the website as the single source of documentation, rather than having individual README files spread across our repository. It would also be more accessible for new developers coming into Beam.
