README - PyPedal Version 2.0.4
-------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS PyPedal?

PyPedal is a Python package for pedigree analysis.  PyPedal is
a research tool for the use of the author and any others who
might be interested in its use. It was originally developed by
John B. Cole, and may be freely (re)distributed.

DOCUMENTATION

Limited (read preliminary) documentation is available in TeX and
Postscript format in this repository. An HTML version of the manual
also may be found at: http://pypedal.sourceforge.net/.


INSTALLING PyPedal

You should be able to use the usual setup.py installer that's included
in the download.

You must have Python 2.7 (or later) installed in order to use PyPedal.
PyPedal depends on features in 2.7 that are not present in earlier versions
of Python.  You may find Python for your operating system at:
http://www.python.org/.

You must have the NumPy extension to Python installed.  You can
obtain NumPy as well as installation instructions, at:
http://www.numpy.org/.

I've successfully used PyPedal in various flavors of RedHat Linux (including RHEL), Mandrake Linux,
CentOS, and macOS (including Big Sur). I don't routinely use Windows, so I'm afraid I can't be too
much help there.
