Installation
=============

|project_name| requires Python_ 3.2 or above to work. Even though Python 3
is not the default Python version on most Linux distributions it is usually
available as an optional install.

Other dependencies:

* `msgpack-python`_ >= 0.1.10
* OpenSSL_ >= 1.0.0

The OpenSSL provided by Mac OS X is too old so OS X users are recommended
to install a newer version using homebrew_.
