Installation and Configuration

Leocronus.django.ploneproxy is designed as a regular Django Application.  We need Django Framework is installed and working fine.

Leocornus.django.ploneproxy also provided a mod_python PythonAuthenHanlder implementation.  So we also need make sure the mod_python is installed and configured properly!

The other dependence of leocornus.django.plonproxy is module httplib2.  We need it to be installed too!
