Complete first pass on testing system. All tests pass on my box. Whew. We now have a first cut of a functioning testing system. Many examples had to be disabled (with a proper decorator), but now we can begin building a robust test suite for all of IPython. The big remaining todo is to fix the handling of the ipython/test namespace synchronization, which is still not 100% correct. Once that is done, some of the currently skipped tests will be reactivated.

IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):

Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
r136 - Windows XP, 2000 (and probably WinNT): works well. It needs:

r642 * If you are using Python2.4, this in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes
from: http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes (not needed for Python
2.5 users, since 2.5 already ships with ctypes).

- Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test.

Updated python version requirement to 2.3

r136 distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files).
After uncompressing the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just
like any other Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this
completes, you can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which
will add the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu.
Optionally, you may skip installation altogether and just launch "ipython.py"
from the root folder of the extracted source distribution.
