.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B ivycpy library.
This Python library (actually C wrapper around ivy-c library) allow
-to use Ivy bus using Python. This library is a wrapper above ivyc library (3.4)
+to use Ivy bus using Python. This library is a wrapper above ivyc library (>=3.3)
and procures functions to plug a Python application onto the Ivy Bus.
-This version is a very early release (ivycpy213sa stands for ivycpy for
-Python 213 - Stand Alone) which embodies ivy object modules,
-and procures its own tkinter shared library . Further release should
-just rely on dynamic linking with both libivy.so and native _tkinter.so, but
-some details stuff required to hack both ivy-c and tkinter themselves, so.
+
+This version is strictly compatible with ivy-c [3.2 .. 3.6] and can be
+dynamically linked to a new version of ivy-c, if ivy-c api is unchanged which is
+quite unlikely.
+
+This current source version allows to link ivycpy with an dedicated version of
+[Python/Tkinter] . ivycpy requires to share some internal data with _tkinter.c
+and thus a dedicated version of tkinter is required to make ivycpy working.
