Developing notes

To test production settings locally:

• add abr-dev.com to /etc/hosts since QBO doesn't allow "localhost" callbacks for the oauth process
• supply production environment variables for redis url, qbo client & secret

Define production env vars:

export QBO_CLIENT_ID=XXX
export QBO_CLIENT_SECRET=XXX
export REDIS_URL=redis://XXX

Run local ssl server:

python manage.py runsslserver abr-dev.com:8080
