It needs: - - * PyWin32: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ - - * PyReadline: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/PyReadline/Intro - - * 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. - -- CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix. - -It needs Python 2.3 or newer. - - -Installation ------------- - -Double-click the supplied .exe installer file. If all goes well, that's all -you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu. - - -Installation from source distribution -------------------------------------- - -In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can -download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source -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.
