Bug Description

Please add to the README.txt and website documentation some statement about which versions of Python IPython actually works with. I get a lot of questions from people because this information is lacking.

For example, there is no .egg for Python 2.6 so people wonder if it works with 2.6. Actually it does since it gets built from the source distribution by the easy_install command.

People are also starting now to ask if it works with Python 3.x which I'm pretty sure it does ont.

Thanks, I added a section to the README.txt file and the main homepage (both in trunk and 0.10.1 so it goes to distributions).

Note that the current docs do have a section indicating this information:
