Setup - Psyco JIT compiler

If you are on a 32bit platform it is a good idea to install Psyco JIT to speed up things.

Download Psyco JIT Compiler Sources

Go to your Home directory or wherever you feel comfortable and run:

svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/psyco/dist/ psyco-dist/

Run the python installation script

Do the following commands:

cd psyco-dist
sudo python setup.py install

Note for 64bit platform users

If you download and try to install Psyco on a 64-bit architecture, you'll get the following error:

c/codegen.h:15:3: error: #error "-----------------------------------------------------"
c/codegen.h:16:3: error: #error "Sorry, non-32-bit platforms are not supported at all."
c/codegen.h:17:3: error: #error "You may try with a Python compiled in 32-bit         "

c/codegen.h:19:3: error: #error "never support non-32-bit platforms, as it is no      "

c/codegen.h:23:3: error: #error "See http://codespeak.net/pypy/                       "
c/codegen.h:24:3: error: #error "-----------------------------------------------------"

The above is self explanatory, you cannot use the compiler on a 64bit setup.
