Trying to be mathematically simple and precise

As promised, Dycapo 0.0.2 is out.

Dycapo will be an open client (mobile)/server system that will improve travel experiences of users in a city. The system will let people to define a destination on their mobile phone. DyCaPo will suggest and arrange trips by either using the Public Transport Service or Carpooling volunteers.
That is, DyCaPo will implement full Dynamic Carpooling functionalities as well as static approaches.

Here are the release notes and the changes since 0.0.1:

RELEASE NOTES
***************
2010-01-10 Daniel Graziotin 
Dycapo 0.0.2 is just for _showing_out_some_functionalities_ of the system and testing the underlying technologies. Dycapo 0.0.2 incorporates and shows:
* OpenTrip Core adoption and OpenTrip Dynamic data structures proposal (in Django Model format)
* Use of XML-RPC with Django (rpc4django over HTTP and HTTPS)
* (Sort of) integration of Dycapo models with Django and rpc4django
* Authentication
* Insertion of a trip by a driver
* Start of a trip by a driver
* Search of a trip by a rider
* Send a ride request to a driver
* Let the driver accept the ride request
No one exported XML-RPC function will surely be included in the final API! No one exported XML-RPC function is either optimized or completely working!
Code is (somewhat) documented. Expect a completely better work for 0.1.0 

CHANGES SINCE 0.0.1
***************
Some refactoring to make the code cleaner.
Lots of bugs fixed.
Test suite rewritten and (finally) fully working.

models.py:
- added utility methods (i.e. __unicode__ and to_xmlrpc)
- use of OpenTrip id proposal instead of Django id
- addition of fields to Participation model, regarding a ride request and a request accepted

trip.py:
this module has been splitted in four files:
- driver.py - holds all the XML-RPC methods that a Driver needs.
- rider.py - holds all the XML-RPC methods that a Rider needs.
- commin.py - will hold all the XML-RPC methods shared by Rider and Driver
- utils.py - holds some utility functions.

driver.py (formerly trip.py):
- added check_ride_requests(trip) - checks for ride requests
- added accept_ride_request(trip, person) - for accepting a Rider

rider.py (formerly trip.py):
- added request_ride(trip) - sends a ride request to a trip

tests/:
- Cleaner code and better organization
- Added test_all_simple.py - creates a Driver and a Rider with the same destination as target
- test_all.py - creates 3 drivers and 5 riders with random locations as target
