Description: django-councilmatic
        ===========
        
         The django-councilmatic app provides the core functionality for the `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_, a set of web apps for keeping tabs on local city council. It is built upon the open civic data standard and ultimately makes Councilmatic easier to re-deploy in new cities.
        
        django-councilmatic includes:
        
        - data models for bills, people, organizations, events, and more
        - a task to load data from the open civic data api
        - views and templates for bill/person/organization/event pages, search, and more
        
        The `Councilmatic family <http://www.councilmatic.org/>`_ includes:
        
        - Philly Councilmatic (the original and first Councilmatic, by Mjumbe Poe, an important predecessor to DataMade's django-councilmatic)
        - `Chicago Councilmatic <https://github.com/datamade/chi-councilmatic>`_
        - `New York City Councilmatic <https://github.com/datamade/nyc-councilmatic>`_
        - `Los Angeles Metro Board <https://github.com/datamade/la-metro-councilmatic>`_

        Running tests
        ----
        Did you make changes to django-councilmatic? Before you make a pull request, run some tests. We test for style with `flake8 <http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/>`_:
        
        ```bash
        flake8 ./councilmatic_core/*.py
        ```
        
        We test for functionality with a custom-made `TestCase`. Be sure to specify the owner of your psql databse in the export command:
        
        ```bash
        export db_user='yourusername' && python runtests.py
        ```
