Ice 3.6b Python Package Index package

Starting with Ice 3.6 we will release our official Ice for Python distributions on the Python Package Index.

To give you a chance to test this distribution format, and to provide feedback to us prior to the Ice 3.6 release I just uploaded the packages for Ice 3.6b onto PyPI. See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zeroc-ice/3.6b for details.

The install will also install the slice2py translator. On a UNIX-like machine it will be installed into /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin. On Windows it is installed to <python-dir>\scripts.

I also uploaded wheels for the OSX 10.10 system default Python 2.7 and wheels for Python 2.7.9 32/64 bit and Python 3.4.2 32/64 bit for Windows.

Note that when installing the wheels you need to specify the --pre command line option since the release is tagged as a beta product.

For example, under Windows to install the Ice extension:
c:\ pip install zeroc-ice --pre
