Thanks, Mathias. I've gone ahead and tried making something *without* using Bootstrap to begin with. If people like this I will make a version that uses Bootstrap, too. My reasoning for this is that I want to :
1. Focus on the simplest code when learning something and… 2. Improve performance by reducing the amount of CSS files, especially as I'm referencing a typeface in the design — I'm a fan of minimalist design :) Here is version 0.0.1: https://github.com/hypertexthero/mezzanine-robotonotebook https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mezzanine-robotonotebook/0.0.1 This was my first time publishing anything on PyPI, and for some reason when I try to `pip install mezzanine-robotonotebook` I get an error message: Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/basecommand.py", line 223, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/commands/install.py", line 268, in run wheel_cache File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/basecommand.py", line 268, in populate_requirement_set wheel_cache=wheel_cache File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_install.py", line 207, in from_line wheel_cache=wheel_cache) File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_install.py", line 66, in __init__ req = pkg_resources.Requirement.parse(req) File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2960, in parse reqs = list(parse_requirements(s)) File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2904, in parse_requirements "version spec") File "/Users/simon/Projects/mezt-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2869, in scan_list raise ValueError(msg, line, "at", line[p:]) ValueError: ('Expected version spec in', 'mezzanine-robotonotebook=0.0.1', 'at', '=0.0.1') Any advice on this?
