+run::

+ ./lazyserver.sh

+This will start up a python server where you can begin playing with
+mediagoblin. It will also run celery in "always eager" mode so you
+don't have to start a separate process for it.

+This is fine in development, but if you want to actually run celery
+separately for testing (or deployment purposes), you'll want to run

- CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER=true ./bin/paster serve server.ini --reload
