--------------
Check if you already have an adequate version of Python installed by running
``python -V``. The latest version of Python v2.7 is recommended. Python v2.6.x
is no longer officially supported, but might still work. Python v3 does not
work. On Windows, we recommend the use of native Python v2.7, not Cygwin
Python. If you don't have one of these versions of Python installed,
`download`_ and install the latest version of Python v2.7. Make sure that the
path to the installation directory has no spaces in it (e.g. on Windows, do not
install Python in the "Program Files" directory).
