## Installation
Debian-based systems:
* apt-get install python-bobo python-genshi python-sqlobject
apt-get install python-bobo python-genshi python-sqlobject

would be the following:
* apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi
Get the sources and extract them within the tree of your webserver:
* svn co https://svn.systemausfall.org/svn/codekasten/tycker /var/www/tycker
svn co https://svn.systemausfall.org/svn/codekasten/tycker /var/www/tycker

* FILENAME_TEMPLATE = "ticker%d.html"

* FULL_PATH_FILENAME_TEMPLATE = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, os.path.pardir, FILENAME_TEMPLATE)
** absolute path of the result html file (by default: in the parent directory
