Requirements and dependencies undocumented

[fiee]

• Longclaw version: 1.0.2
• Wagtail version: 2.7
• Django version: 2.2
• Python version: 3.7

This is my first try with Longclaw/Wagtail, but I got a lot of experience with Python and Django<2.

If you try to setup Longclaw according to https://jamesramm.github.io/longclaw/docs/tutorial/install, i.e. just pip install longclaw,
you get the latest versions, e.g. Django>3, while current Wagtail (2.7) needs Django 2.2.

longclaw start bakery doesn’t create a "requirements.txt" as wagtail start mysite does.
I finally used that "requirements.txt" from a Wagtail test project.
Can’t remember all the problems I solved until I could make migrations (I wanted to use MariaDb and django-dotenv from the start).

Then I ran into import errors, where Longclaw tried to import decorators from rest_framework. I finally found out, Longclaw depends on djangorestframework 3.1.3, while 3.11 is current, and that package seems to be a really moving target. Since the missing decorators detail_route and list_route didn’t depend on anything in rest_framework, I just copied them to my virtualenv installation of longclaw.

Installing from master (pip install git+https://github.com/JamesRamm/longclaw#egg=longclaw) should resolve these issues.
A 1.1 release will be coming around Xmas

Back to trying Longclaw, starting again on a new machine. Pypi still has longclaw 1.0.2. Same problems. Git checkout works so far.
