1 | 1 | Notes for Windows Users |
|
2 | 2 | ======================= |
|
3 | 3 | |
|
4 | 4 | These are just minimal notes. The manual contains more detailed |
|
5 | 5 | information. |

|
10 | 10 | IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned): |
|
11 | 11 | |
|
12 | 12 | - Windows XP (I think WinNT/2000 are ok): works well. It needs: |
|
13 | 13 | |
|
14 | 14 | * PyWin32, the win32 Python extensions from |
|
15 | 15 | http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond. |
|
16 | 16 | |
|
17 | 17 | * Gary Bishop's readline from |
|
18 | 18 | http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools. |
|
19 | 19 | |
|
20 | 20 | * This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from |
|
21 | 21 | http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes. |
|
22 | 22 | |
|
23 | 23 | - Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test. |
|
24 | 24 | |
|
25 | 25 | - CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix. |
|
26 | 26 | |
|
27 |
It needs Python 2. |
|
|
27 | It needs Python 2.3 or newer. | |

|
30 | 30 | Installation |
|
31 | 31 | ------------ |
|
32 | 32 | |
|
33 | 33 | Double-click the supplied .exe installer file. If all goes well, that's all |
|
34 | 34 | you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu. |
|
35 | 35 | |
|
36 | 36 | In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can |
|
37 | 37 | download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source |
|
38 | 38 | distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files). After uncompressing |
|
39 | 39 | the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just like any other |
|
40 | 40 | Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this completes, you |
|
41 | 41 | can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which will add |
|
42 | 42 | the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu. |
