C code, so you need only a Python interpreter that meets the
requirements mentioned.

For Mac OS X Users
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From `Python.org <http://python.org/download/mac/>`_:

Python comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, but due to Apple's release
cycle, it's often one or even two years old. The overwhelming
recommendation of the "MacPython" community is to upgrade your
Python by downloading and installing a newer version from
`the Python standard release page <http://python.org/download/releases/>`_.

It is recommended to download one of the *installer* versions, unless you prefer to install your Python through a packgage manager (e.g., macports or homebrew) or to build your Python from source.

Unless you have a need for a specific earlier version, it is recommended
to install the latest 2.x or 3.x version of Python.

If you use an installer for your Python, then you can skip to the
section :ref:`installing_unix`.
