	This document is part of streamtuner-python. It may be
	distributed under the same terms as streamtuner-python.

1. Requirements

	streamtuner-python requires:

		* streamtuner (version 0.12.0 or superior)
		  http://www.nongnu.org/streamtuner/

		* Python (version 2.2 or superior)
		  http://www.python.org/

	Note that the plugin has only been tested with the 2.3 branch
	of Python. It might not work or even build with previous
	branches.

2. Portability

	streamtuner-python has been designed from the ground up with
	portability in mind. The source code conforms to the ANSI C
	and POSIX.1 specifications (no platform-specific features are
	used).

3. Instructions

	streamtuner-python uses the GNU build system. Hence, the
	following familiar sequence should satisfy most users:

		$ ./configure
		$ make
		<get root priviledges, if needed>
		$ make install

	The ./configure script behaviour can be changed using
	command-line options: type "./configure --help" for an
	exhaustive list.

	If you don't use the --prefix option, the installation prefix
	will be autodetected using the path of the streamtuner binary.

	The location of your Python installation should normally be
	detected without problems. However, you can explicitly specify
	the full path of the Python interpreter by setting the PYTHON
	environment variable, for instance:

		$ PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.3 ./configure
