Previously, users of setuptools would get our data embedded in eggs.
Eggs are horrible things, but more importantly our package data should
be free, in a well-known albeit system-dependant path that is
independent of the package.
By specifying [install_data][1] as an alias of install, we assure that
our data (examples, integrations, etc) are placed in $data/share as
$DEITY intended.
Alternative suggestions included force-adding "--old-and-unmanageable",
which would invoke the distutils-style install command, but that had the
unfortunate side effect of turning off eggs and dependency resolution
altogether.
We could also use "--single-version-externally-managed", but I think
that was designed to be used by package managers, not by us.
In any case, both of the above were fragile and might break if the user
specified additional options to setup.py.
In closing, Python module management is horrible. See [this][2],
[this][3], and [this][4] for info about the status quo, and [this][5]
for information about crack to be smoked later down the road. Don't even
get me started about [PEP 427 -- Python wheels][6].

Due to limitations in their API, we have to poll and check for
creation and completion events.

This requires renaming the account in Google Apps at the time we
deploy this; we'll probably want to do this during off hours to avoid
any user-visible downtime.
This also updates some related email addresses.

Before these examples weren't obviously blocking calls (they seemed
more like a callback registration, which may make more sense in the future)

This mirrors all the "events" in a Basecamp account onto a stream in Zulip
(default "basecamp"); it sets the topic as the calendar or project that the
event belongs to.
Unfortunately, Basecamp will not host hooks, and neither do we, so this script
is currently intended to be run by our customers, much like the Trello mirror.

Previously it only provided the list of all public streams; now it
allows one to specify any union of some of the following:
* all public streams
* all streams the user subscribed to
(the most relevant being the union of those two, which is what we want
for the "streams" page).
Or:
* all streams in realm (superuser only)
The manual task required is that when this is pushed to prod, we need
to also deploy the new sync-public-streams version to zmirror.

When we deploy this, we'll need to of course actually build and deploy
the new API tarball.

This makes our life a bit nicer if the message is super-long,
because then even when it's "condensed", we still get a link
to the actual article.

Even though we support a command-line option of --user=,
it gets stored in a field called 'email'.
