receive feature updates, and will be removed in a future Cantera release. Users
are encouraged to switch to the new Python module when possible.
The Cython module is compatible with the following Python versions: 2.6, 2.7,
3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. Support for Python 2.6 and Python 3.1 requires the ``scipy``
and ``unittest2`` packages to be installed as well (see :ref:`sec-dependencies`)
to provide certain features that are included in the standard
library in more recent versions.
