+IPython uses several other modules, such as pexpect_ and path.py, if they are
+installed on your system, but it can also use bundled versions from

-The pexpect_ package is used in IPython's :command:`irunner` script, as well as
-for managing subprocesses. IPython now includes a version of pexpect in
-:mod:`IPython.external`, but if you have installed pexpect, IPython will use
-that instead. On Unix platforms (including OS X), just do:
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    $ pip install pexpect

-.. note::
-
-    On Python 3, you should actually install :mod:`pexpect-u`,
-    a unicode-safe fork of pexpect.

-Windows users are out of luck as pexpect does not run there.
