This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
25
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.

The only dependency is Python, at least 2.3 and preferably 2.4. On
28
Windows, Python2.4 is required.

You may optionally install cElementTree to speed up some operations.

The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
37
directory on your path. For example::
39
ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr

specified path. In this case you must install ElementTree or
