+PREREQUISITES
+=============
+
+Building NumPy requires the following software installed:
+
+1) Python__ 2.4.x or newer
+
+ On Debian and derivative (Ubuntu): python python-dev
+
+ On Windows: the official python installer on Python__ is enough
+
+ Make sure that the Python package distutils is installed before
+ continuing. For example, in Debian GNU/Linux, distutils is included
+ in the python-dev package.
+
+ Python must also be compiled with the zlib module enabled.
