There is a great script for installing a dev environent:

I personally use osx so I use vagrant to configure an oneiric box for use with devstack.

The environment that I'm using is the venv make by running ./run_test.sh.

If you run the script, an ".venv" folder is created where are you can start off as an dev env.

Just activate virtualenv and pip install MySQL-python and keystone, then you can check your changes directly off your git clone.

This method of making a dev env can be applied to all seven major OpenStack projects.
