# How do I use IbPy?

See the IbPy wiki page "Getting Started with IbPy":

   http://code.google.com/p/ibpy/wiki/GettingStarted

# What are the requirements?

IbPy requires Python 2.5 or newer. Previous versions are not supported.

TWS requires a web browser capable of executing Sun(R) Java(tm) applets.
TWS can also be started directly with Sun(R) Java(tm) and the
stand-alone package supplied by Interactive Brokers.

> businesses on 60 market centers worldwide. In its broker dealer agency
> business, IB provides direct access ("on line") trade execution and

# What is Python?

From the page "What is Python?" [1]:

> Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language. > It is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java.

> Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has
modules, > classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and
dynamic typing. > There are interfaces to many system calls and
libraries, as well as to > various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk,
Mac, MFC). New built-in modules > are easily written in C or C++. Python
is also usable as an extension > language for applications that need a
programmable interface.

> The Python implementation is portable: it runs on many brands of UNIX,
on > Windows, DOS, OS/2, Mac, Amiga... If your favorite system isn't
listed here, > it may still be supported, if there's a C compiler for
it. Ask around on > comp.lang.python -- or just try compiling Python
yourself.

> The Python implementation is copyrighted but freely usable and
distributable, > even for commercial use.
