Done.

This means that starting the dev server involves copying some stuff into third
party etc.  Is there a way to avoid that and just set up the python path?

i.e. avoid running build_server.

There are going to be non-Python dependencies, like third-party JavaScript
files.

+for filename in FILENAMES:
+  shutil.copy(os.path.join(SERVER_PATH, filename),
+      os.path.join(SRC_PATH, filename))
+args = sys.argv[1:]
+args.append(SRC_PATH)
+subprocess.call(args)
