        Installation Instructions
        =========================
        
        Install the package by typing
        
           python setup.py install
        
        at the command prompt with setup.py in the current directory.
        
        You may need to give the path and version of Python depending on your system's configuration:
        
           <path to python>/python<version> setup.py install
        
           For example
        
              C:\\Python33\\python setup.py install
        
                 on Microsoft Windows or
        
              python3.3 setup.py install
        
                 on Unix-like systems.
        
        Use `Python`_ 3.3 or later.
        
        
        Notes
        =====
        
        The frame, panel, logpanel,and threadqueue, modules are obsolete given the addition of ttk:notebook to tk after Tk8.4 and access via tkinter.
