-Check if you already have an adequate version of Python installed by
-running ``python -V``. Python v2.4 (v2.4.4 or greater), Python v2.5,
-Python v2.6, or Python v2.7 will work. Python v3 does not work. On
-Windows, we recommend the use of Python v2.6 (native, not Cygwin). If
-you don't have one of these versions of Python installed, then follow
-the instructions on `the Python download page
-<http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/>`_ to download and
-install Python v2.6. Make sure that the path to the installation
-directory has no spaces in it (e.g. on Windows, do not install Python
-in the "Program Files" directory).
-
-If you are on Windows, you now must manually install the pywin32
-package from `the pywin32 site
-<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/>`_ before getting
-Tahoe-LAFS. Make sure to get the correct file for the version of Python
-you are using -- e.g. ending in "py2.6.exe" for Python v2.6. If using
-64-bit Windows, the file should have "win-amd64" in its name.
