Maybe our infrastructure folks will have a thought or two about this? I'm willing to put some work into this if we can figure out what direction to head in. It could well be tied in to moving bugs.python.org in with the rest of our infrastructure, something I know Donald has been noodling with off and on; and I'm willing to help with that as well. Theoretically you could create a dev environment with the psf-salt stuff once it’s actually done. It won’t be the most efficient use of your computer resources because it’d expect to run several vagrant VMs locally but it would also match “production” (in a salt-ified world) better. It wouldn’t be as good as a dedicated dev setup for it, but it would probably be better than a sort of “yea here’s a bunch of steps that sort of get you close YOLO”.

For demonstrating UI changes, either a single VM Vagrant setup specifically for testing, or else something that works in the free tier of a public PaaS may be a better option. The advantage of those two approaches is that they'd be potentially acceptable as contributions to the upstream Roundup project, rather than needing to be CPython specific.

Cheers, Nick.
