APPENDIX
A
Installing the Required Software
All of the Python software used in this book is free and open source. The following sections
will give you pointers about where to find the software as well as some links to instructions
for installing this software. Since software is always a moving target and the versions of
Python and some of the modules we use in this book are bound to change, we will not
try to give you specific instructions for installing Python on every operating system and
platform.
