Dependencies

Pyzor Client
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you plan on only using Pyzor to check message against our public server,
then there are no required dependencies.

Pyzor Server
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to host your own Pyzor Server then you will need an appropriate 
back-end engine. Depending on what engine you want to use you will also need 
to install the required python dependecies. Please see :ref:`server-engines`
for more details.

The Pyzor also support the `gevent library <http://www.gevent.org/>`_. If you 
want to use this feature then you will need to first install it.
