Now developing on Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 2.7. Use symbolic links for media, so add media/banners to .hgignore. I had a syntax error in banner_tags.py that only Python 2.7 caught. For local development, read database name from SECRETS.

{% load core_tags %}
<p>
<span class="shoutbox-user">{{ shout.user.username }}:</span>
<span class="shoutbox-shout">{{ shout.html|safe }}</span><br />
<span class="shoutbox-date">{{ shout.shout_date|elapsed }}</span>
