interrupt it the tree may be arbitrarily broken. This will be

This is mostly developed on Linux (Ubuntu); it should work on Unix,
22
25
Windows, or OS X with relatively little trouble.
24
The only dependency is Python 2.4.
26
You may optionally install cElementTree to speed up some operations.
27
This is strongly recommended if you are dealing with large trees.
29
This package includes copies of two Python libraries, elementtree and
32
If you are building .deb or .rpm packages for bzr, please don't
33
include these libraries but instead package them separately and depend
27
bzr requires a fairly recent Python, say after 2.2. 2.4 is recommended.
29
You must install either cElementTree_ or ElementTree_ first.

The best way to install bzr is to symlink the ``bzr`` command onto a
41
directory on your path. For example::
43
ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzr ~/bin/bzr
45
If you use a symlink for this, Python will be able to automatically
46
find the bzr libraries. Otherwise you must ensure they are listed on
49
After installing, please run the test suite to identify any problems
54
If you use the setup.py script then bzr will be installed into the
55
specified path. In this case you must install ElementTree and
56
urlgrabber separately.
39
bzr has a standard python ``setup.py`` script.
41
To install it system-wide::
43
# python ./setup.py install
45
Alternatively you can simply put the source directory on $PYTHONPATH
