 [ DEPENDENCIES ]

    - Python 2.6 or newer              http://python.org/

    - Python D-Bus bindings

    gPodder is still compatible with Python 2.5, but you might need to
    install sqlite3 and json ("simplejson") manually. We reserve the
    right to drop support for Python 2.5 in future point releases.

    As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use
    the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
