Installing Quixote
==================

Best-case scenario
------------------

If you are using Python 2.2 or later, and have never installed Quixote
with your current version of Python, you're in luck.  Just run

  python setup.py install

and you're done.  Proceed to the demo documentation to learn how to get
Quixote working.

If you're using an older Python, or if you're upgrading from an older
Quixote version, read on.


Upgrading from an older Quixote version
---------------------------------------

We strongly recommend that you remove any old Quixote version before
installing a new one.  First, find out where your old Quixote
installation is:

  python -c "import os, quixote; print os.path.dirname(quixote.__file__)"

and then blow away the reported directory.  (If this fails, then you
don't have an existing Quixote installation.)

Then proceed as above:

  python setup.py install


Using Quixote with Python 2.0 or 2.1
------------------------------------
