 * Setting up
+** =my_configuration= package for private paths/repositores
 First you need to tell the package where to look for your data and external repositories, which is done though a separate (private) package named ~my_configuration~.
 
-In the simplest case it can be just a single file named ~my_configuration.py~, e.g.:
-# TODO eh, perhaps 
-# TODO prepare private my_configuration package???
+You can see example in ~my_configuration_template~. You can copy it somewhere else and modify to your needs.

+As you can see, generally you specify fixed paths (e.g. to backup directory) in ~__init__.py~.
+Feel free to add other files as well though to organize better, it's a real python package after all!
+
+Some things (e.g. links to external packages like [[https://github.com/karlicoss/hypexport][hypexport]]) are specified as normal symlinks in ~repos~ directory.
+That way you get easy imports (e.g. =import my_configuration.repos.hypexport.model=) and proper IDE integration.

+Dependencies are different for specific modules you're planning to use, so it's hard to specify.
 Generally you can just try and then install missing packages via ~pip install --user~, should be fairly straighforward.

 If you run your script with ~with_my~ wrapper, you'd have ~my~ in ~PYTHONPATH~ which gives you access to your data from within the script.
