r6599 | Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation is available on `our website | ||
<http://ipython.org/documentation.html>`_; if you downloaded a built source | ||||
distribution the ``docs/source`` directory contains the plaintext version of | ||||
these manuals. If you have Sphinx installed, you can build them by typing | ||||
``make html`` for local browsing. | ||||

r2573 | Dependencies and supported Python versions | ||
========================================== | ||||
For full details, see the installation section of the manual. The basic parts | ||||
of IPython only need the Python standard library, but much of its more advanced | ||||
functionality requires extra packages. | ||||
