+xray currently requires Python 2.7 and the python libraries `numpy>=1.8.0`,
+`scipy>=0.13`, `pandas>=0.13.1` and `netCDF4>=1.0.6`. The easiest way to get

+Python 3.
 
 It is not yet available on the Python package index (prior to its initial
 release). For now, you need to install it from source:
