+++++++

Dependencies:
-------------
    Python25 or Python26
    setup tools (easy_install)
    psycopg
    "SqlAlchemy <= 0.5.8"
    GeoAlchemy
    Database:
        PostgreSQL (PostGIS for Geo tables) - preferred
        Oracle - tested
        MySQL  - not yet tested
        SQLite - not yet tested

Install Steps (on Windows):
---------------------------
    0. Have a db - docs and examples assume Postgres/PostGIS installed
       http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows 
       http://postgis.refractions.net/download/windows/

    1. Python25 - http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/ (python-2.5.4.msi)
       NOTE: see this for setting env variables correctly: http://blog.sadphaeton.com/2009/01/20/python-development-windows-part-1installing-python.html

    2. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads (setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.5.exe)
       NOTE: see this for setting env variables correctly: http://blog.sadphaeton.com/2009/01/20/python-development-windows-part-2-installing-easyinstallcould-be-easier.html

    3. Install Psygopg2 (from binary):  http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/win-psycopg/

    4. Install GeoAlchemy
       a. Open a Command Prompt window
       b. easy_install -D "SqlAlchemy <= 0.5.8"
       c. easy_install GeoAlchemy

    5. Check out gtfsdb from trunk with Mercurial - see http://code.google.com/p/gtfsdb/source/checkout

    6. cd top level of gtfsdb tree
    
    7. python setup.py develop

    8. python gtfsdb/scripts/load.py
 
    9. Change database information by editing this file: gtfsdb/data/default.cfg
       IMPORTANT: GeoSpatial switch must happen in a geo database.  If you previously 
                  loaded a GTFS in a schema you'd like to now make geo, you need to delete 
                  the existing GTFS tables (eg: since they lack the necessary geom columns).


NOTE: version of SqlAlchemy must be lower than the 0.6 beta that's out there for GeoAlchemy to work (that screwed us up)
