INDYWIKIA
-----------------------------------
Install and run 

Linux + Unix + Mac os

Download and install PyQt4, either from sources, or from a software
management system (on debian based systems, that is apt-get install
python-qt4). Python is normally installed on these systems, python version
2.5 is suggested, since the program has not been tested on older versions.

then enter into the directory you have extracted indywikia and run:
$ python indywikia.py



Windows

We have included windows executables, in order for windows users to be able
to run the program without having to get python, pyqt and qt. However, you
have to understand that by making this an executable (using py2exe program) , it contains python+pyqt4 on
modules as windows DLL's, that's why the size is extremely big (~23mb).
Download the windows zip, unzip it somewhere and click on the indywikia icon
for the program to launch. 
As an alternative, you can download and install python, qt, sip and pyqt4
modules and run the code, instead of the executable. 
Also, keep in mind that indywikia is not tested extensively on windows ,
since the development takes place on linux.

Hope you will find the program useful :)



----------------------------------
Indywikia is written on python 2.5, and the gui environment is written on
pyqt 4.3. Since it uses qt, the gui is independant of the operating system.
It is written once and can be run on Windows, Mac OSX, Linux (KDE, GNOME). 

It uses python threading plus qt QThreads, so that the images are fetched
and displayed asynchronously.
