r2481 | Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation can be found in the ``docs/dist`` | ||
subdirectory in ``.html`` and ``.pdf`` formats, also available online at our | ||||
`website <http://ipython.scipy.org>`_. The ``docs/source`` directory contains | ||||
the plaintext version of these manuals. | ||||

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. | ||||
Officially, IPython requires Python version 2.5 or 2.6. We have *not* yet | ||||
started to port IPython to Python 3.0. | ||||
.. warning:: | ||||
IPython 0.10 has only been well tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6. Parts of | ||||
it may work with Python 2.4, but we do not officially support Python 2.4 | ||||
anymore. If you need to use 2.4, you can still run IPython 0.9. | ||||

by typing at the terminal: | ||||
.. code-block:: bash | ||||
python ipython.py | ||||
