This is how easy it is to get lax to run on your linux machine :
hg clone http://www.logilab.org/hg/lax/ wget http://googleappengine.googlecode.com/files/google_appengine_1.0.2.zip unzip google_appengine_1.0.2.zip ./google_appengine/dev_appserver.py lax/skel/
Point your favorite browser to http://localhost:8080/
UPDATE: LAX is now included in the CubicWeb semantic web framework.
