Hack!
=====

Do this:

   <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_
2. (optional) go to https://github.com/paultag/hy and fork it
3. get the source code::

       $ git clone git://github.com/paultag/hy.git

   (or use your fork)
4. install for hacking::

       $ python setup.py develop

5. install other develop-y requirements::

       $ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

6. do awesome things; make someone shriek in delight/disgust at what
   you have wrought
