r4459 | Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation, including PDF versions of our | ||
manual, is available on `our website <http://ipython.org/documentation.html>`_; | ||||
if you downloaded a built source distribution the ``docs/html`` directory | ||||
contains an HTML version of the manual. 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. | ||||

|
r4459 | Officially, IPython requires Python version 2.6 or 2.7. A separate repository | ||
contains our Python 3 version, as explained `in our wiki | ||||
<http://wiki.ipython.org/Python_3>`_. | ||||
