Merge pull request #1624 from takluyver/i1470...
Merge pull request #1624 from takluyver/i1470 Two distinct but related fixes for byte-compilation on Python 3. * A slight hack so setuptools refrains from trying to byte-compile everything - issue #1470. The actual modules are still compiled by another step when I do `python3 setup.py install`, but that step is smart enough not to try to compile the examples as well. * A workaround for a bug in Python 3.1 - py_compile had only partly implemented PEP 263, so it recognises `coding:`, but not `encoding:` to specify a file encoding. This was causing build failures since my `nonascii.py` test sample was merged. Closes #1470.

Notes for Windows Users
=======================
These are just minimal notes. The manual contains more detailed
information.
Requirements
------------
IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
- Windows XP (I think WinNT/2000 are ok): works well. It needs:
* Gary Bishop's readline from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools.
* This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/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 2.2 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.
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.
