Wing ~~MAJOR_VERSION~~ supports versions 2.6 to 2.7 and 3.3 to 3.7 of Python from
`python.org <https://python.org/downloads>`__, `Anaconda
<https://www.continuum.io/downloads>`__, `ActivePython
<http://activestate.com/activepython>`__, `EPD <http://www.enthought.com/products/epd>`__,
`Stackless Python <http://stackless.com/>`__, `cygwin <http://cygwin.com>`__,
MacPorts, Fink, Homebrew, and other distributions based on CPython.

OS X and Linux come with Python.  On Windows, you will need to install one of the
above before using Wing.

Wing can also be used with alternative Python implementations such as PyPy, IronPython,
and Jython, but the debugger and Python Shell will not work.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit compilations of Python are supported on Windows. On Linux and OS X
only 64-bit Python is supported. However, Linux 32-bit Python can be debugged using Wing
Pro's `remote development <ref:proj/remote-hosts>`__ feature.

Wing Pro users can also compile Wing's debugger on other operating systems, and 
against custom versions of Python (requires 
`NDA <https://wingware.com/pub/wingide/support/source-non-discl.pdf>`__).
