bzr can optionally use compiled versions of some parts of the code
17
for increased speed. When installing bzr you need the ability to
18
build C extensions. Some GNU/Linux distributions package the necessary
19
headers separately from the main Python package. This package is
20
probably named something like python-dev or python-devel. FreeBSD,
21
Windows, source-based GNU/Linux distributions, and possibly other operating
22
systems, have the required files installed by default.
24
If you are installing bzr from a bzr branch rather than a release tarball,
25
then you should also have the Pyrex package installed. This is not necessary
26
for release tarballs as they already contain the C files that Pyrex is needed

When upgrading using setup.py, it is recommended that you first delete the
35
bzrlib directory from the install target.
