Requirements
-------------

To run correctly, scipy models requires the following:

        -python (>= 2.4): http://www.python.org tested with 2.5 and 2.6
        -numpy (>= 1.3.0) ?(>= 1.2.1) not tested http://www.scipy.org/Numpy
        -scipy (>= 0.7) http://www.scipy.org/
        -setuptools (easy_install): 
        http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall

On (X)ubuntu you can get the packages through 

apt-get install python python-setuptools python-numpy python-scipy

Optional Requirements:
----------------------

matplotlib: used in examples http://pypi.python.org/pypi/matplotlib
rpy: used in tests http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rpy
in sandbox: numdifftools 

Installing
-----------
Once in the statsmodels directory do:

python setup.py install

numpy 1.4.0 seems to require:
python setup.py build install

alternatively since statsmodels is a pure python package, it can be added
to the python path directly without installation
