Install PyGTK via Homebrew and virtualenv
# This LOOKS pretty straightforward, but it took awhile to sort out issues with
# py2cairo and pygobject, so I hope I've saved you some time :-)
#
# This assumes you already subscribe to a nice clean virtualenvwrapper workflow
# -- see https://gist.github.com/771394 if you need advice on getting there.
# There are some optional dependencies omitted, so if you're going to be doing
# heavy development with these libs, you may want to look into them.
#
# We go to some configure option pains to avoid polluting the system-level
# Python, and `brew link`ing Cairo which is keg-only by default.

The four ways to deploy a webapp to Tomcat
There are four different ways one can deploy a webapp to Tomcat. If TCHOME is the Tomcat top-level directory:
* Copy the war file foo.war or exploded war directory to TCHOME/webapps
* Create a context file context.xml in the webapp’s META-INF/ directory that contains a <Context> fragment that describes the webapp deployment
* Add a <Context> element to the <Host> element in Tomcat’s server.xml that describes the webapp deployment, including docBase. docBase is a <Context> attribute that locates the war file or exploded war directory in the filesystem.
* Create a context file foo.xml in TCHOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/foo.xml that contains a <Context> fragment that describes the webapp deployment, including docBase.
The first two methods do not provide the freedom to name the servlet context independent of file system names for the war file or exploded war directory, whereas the last two do. Of the two methods that provide control over context naming, the most appealing is the use of a context file foo.xml p
