9 9
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 2.2 or newer.
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.
