It was not clear to me what to do to run the cocoslive Python scripts for the web server on port 8080. The README file does not have a section on how to run it. I eventually wrote the shell script below after installing the Google App Engine for Development (gae) and learned what parameters to use to run the server. Perhaps this post to the forums will be helpful.
run.sh (in root folder of cocoslive project alongside README)
# Google App Engine Development Server (Python)
# http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/devserver.html
DATASTORE=${HOME}/cocoslive-datastore
echo ${DATASTORE}
if [ ! -d "${DATASTORE}" ]
then
echo "Making directory ${DATASTORE}"
mkdir "${DATASTORE}"
fi
echo
echo
echo Starting cocoslive server...
echo
echo
echo INFO Python "PIL" module is not required
echo INFO The datastore may not be found on first run, that is alright.
echo
echo
dev_appserver.py cocoslive --datastore_path="${DATASTORE}"
#dev_appserver.py cocoslive --datastore_path="${DATASTORE}" --clear_datastore
