 Check if you already have an adequate version of Python installed by running
-``python -V``. The latest version of Python v2.7 is recommended. Python v2.6.x
-is no longer officially supported, but might still work. Python v3 does not
-work. On Windows, we recommend the use of native Python v2.7, not Cygwin
-Python. If you don't have one of these versions of Python installed,
-`download`_ and install the latest version of Python v2.7. 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).
