275 | PyZMQ. See the next section for PyZMQ details. | |

|
246 | This is the only dependency for :mod:`IPython.parallel`. | |

293 | 259 |
|

294 | IPython 0.11 introduced some new functionality, including a two-process | |
|
295 | execution model using ZeroMQ_ for communication. The Python bindings to ZeroMQ | |
|
296 | are found in the PyZMQ_ project, which is pip install-able. | |
|
297 | If you are on Python 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4 on OSX or Windows, | |
|
298 | pyzmq has eggs and wheels that include ZeroMQ itself. | |
|
260 | PyZMQ provides wheels for current Python on OS X and Windows, so installing pyzmq will typically not require compilation. | |
|
299 | 261 | |
|
300 | IPython.kernel.zmq depends on pyzmq >= 2.2. | |
