Requirements
============

To use this module you need the following software packages:

 1. Python 2.4;
 2. ll-core (1.1 or never);
 3. XIST (2.13 or never);
 4. To make use of the generated Oracle functions, you need an Oracle
    installation;
 5. To create the Oracle functions from Python you need one of the
    Python extension modules for Oracle. You can either use cx_Oracle
    or DCOracle2.


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

distutils is used for installation, so it's rather simple. Execute the
following command:

    python setup.py install


This will copy toxic.py to the site-packages directory as part of the
ll package. distutils might complain about a missing __init__.py, but
you can ignore this: The package init file is provided by ll-core.

For Windows a binary distribution is provided. To install it, double
click it and follow the instructions.

If you have difficulties installing this software, send a problem
report to Walter Dörwald (walter@livinglogic.de).
