This is a manual merge of certain things in the ipython1-dev branch, revision 46, into the main ipython branch. This is not a true merge in the formal sense because all history is not coming over with the files. For a detailed history of the added files, please see the ipython1-dev branch or the svn repository on scipy.org that ipython1-dev came from. More specifically, here is what I have done in this commit: 1) Moved the following by hand ipython1.config -> IPython.config ipython1.kernel -> IPython.kernel ipython1.external -> IPython.external ipython1.core -> IPython.kernel.core ipython1.testutils -> IPython.testing ipython1.tools -> IPython.tools 2) Moved IPython.tools.guid -> IPython1.external.guid 3) Renamed: ipython1 -> IPython IPython.core -> IPython.kernel.core IPython.testutils -> IPython.testing 4) Then did a "bzr add" for all the new stuff. That is all folks!

Notes for Windows Users
=======================
See http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/IpythonOnWindows for up-to-date information
about running IPython on Windows.
Requirements
------------
IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
- Windows XP, 2000 (and probably WinNT): works well. 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.
