97 Once you've unpacked roundup's source, run ``python run_tests.py`` in the
98 source directory and make sure there are no errors. If there are errors,
99 please let us know!
100
101 If the above fails, you may be using the wrong version of python. Try
102 ``python2 run_tests.py``. If that works, you will need to substitute
