        How do I use IbPy?
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        See the IbPy wiki page "Getting Started with IbPy":
        
            http://code.google.com/p/ibpy/wiki/GettingStarted
        
        
        What are the requirements?
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        IbPy requires Python 2.5 or newer.  Previous versions are not supported.
        
        TWS requires a web browser capable of executing Sun(R) Java(tm)
        applets.  TWS can also be started directly with Sun(R) Java(tm) and
        the stand-alone package supplied by Interactive Brokers.
        
        
        What is Interactive Brokers?

        What is Python?
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        From the page "`What is Python?`__":
        
          Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
          language.  It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.
        
          Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
          modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and
          dynamic typing.  There are interfaces to many system calls and
          libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk,
          Mac, MFC). New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++. Python
          is also usable as an extension language for applications that need a
          programmable interface.
        
          The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX,
          on Windows, DOS, OS/2, Mac, Amiga... If your favorite system isn't
          listed here, it may still be supported, if there's a C compiler for
          it. Ask around on comp.lang.python -- or just try compiling Python
          yourself.
        
          The Python implementation is copyrighted but freely usable and distributable,
          even for commercial use.
        
        
        What Else?
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        IbPy is not a product of Interactive Brokers, nor am I affiliated with
        IB.  I am a satisfied IB customer, of course.
        
        IbPy is installed with distutils.  Refer to the Python distutils
        documentation for more information.  The digest version is::

            $ cd :release_root:
            $ python setup.py install
        
        The TWS demo system is available here:
        
            http://interactivebrokers.com/cgi-pub/jtslink.pl?user_name=edemo
