Python version 2.4 or higher, and R-2.7.0 or higher are required.
-This is developped with R-2.7.1 and Python-2.5.2.
+Although the development was done with R-2.7.2 and Python-2.5.2,
+it has also been tested with:
-R-2.8.0-dev is sometimes tested, and it does seem to play well with `rpy2`.
-Python-2.6.0-dev is sometimes tested as well, and it seems to pass the same
-unit tests Python-2.5 is passing.
+ * R-2.8.0
+ * Python-2.6.0 (numpy-support not tested)

+Gcc-4.2.3 was used for compiling the C parts.

Download
^^^^^^^^
-Source Python packages, as well as pre-compiled binaries for Microsoft's
Windows are available
-on the `Sourceforge page <http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rpy>`_.
+In theory we could have available for download:
+ * Source packages.
+
+ * Pre-compiled binary packages for
+
+ * Microsoft's Windows
+
+ * Apple's MacOS X
+
+ * Linux distributions
+
+`rpy2` has been reported compiling successfully on all 3 platforms, provided
+that development items such as Python headers and a C compiler are installed.
+
+Check on the `Sourceforge download page
<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/rpy>`_
+what is available..
+
.. note::
Choose files from the `rpy2` package, not `rpy`.
.. note::
- MacOSX binaries may appear in the future (help to build them is welcome)
+ I have limited time, and at the time of writing no easy access to either
+ Microsoft's windows or Apple's MacOS X. There will no be compiled binaries
+ for the coming month at very least (unless I receive donations of either
+ compiled packages or computers equiped with the mentionned OSes).
