+# Installing Python
+
+**NOTE:** *This document is deprecated.  Please see [[Installation]] instead.*
+
+How (and indeed, ''if'') you must install Python will vary depending on the operating system you're using.
+
+The important point is to confirm which ''version'' you have.  Python 2.6 and 2.7 are well-tested.  Python 2.5 ''may'' work, but Python 3.x will ''not'' work.  You can determine the version in use with this command:
+
+```
+$ python --version
+```
+
+## Linux
+
+Python should be installed out of the box on most flavors of Linux.  Debian 6.0 comes with Python 2.6, for instance.  See your distribution's documentation for more information.
+
+## Microsoft Windows
+
+See [Python Installation on Microsoft Windows](Installation-Python-Windows.-).
