Trac is the framework for the Bloodhound project, and Trac isn't built on top of another major Python framework such as Django. Trac/Bloodhound is a component architecture where plugins provide components and the plugins install as eggs. So you'll need to add a `setup.py` to your project and you can then install it in "development mode" with `python setup.py develop`. That will allow you to manually test your code in real time. You will probably also want to write unit tests for the code you are developing, and you can then run your unit tests from the console `PYTHONPATH=. python setup.py tests` or `PYTHONPATH=. python /path/to/test/module. If you look at bloodhound_search, bloodhound_relations, ... you can see how the tests are organized and integrated into the project. Those plugins are fairly complex though, so it may help to start with a simple one such as [1]. There is a fair bit of development documentation in Trac [2], and you may want to start with [3]. When I first started developing on Trac I had no experience developing web applications, and although there is a fair bit of documentation for developing in Trac, I have experienced that it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing to get things working the first time. If what I've said here isn't helpful in solving your problem, or you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask, either here on the mailing list or on IRC.
