One thing to note is that current virtualenv versions do not support Pyston, so you will need to use our version that we ship in the releases, such as by `pyston-0.5.0-linux64/pyston pyston-0.5.0-linux/pyston/virtualenv/virtualenv.py my_new_env`.

See our [Dockerfile](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) for how to do this.
 
 You can also build Pyston directly from source.  We have some build instructions at [INSTALLING.md](https://github.com/dropbox/pyston/blob/master/docs/INSTALLING.md).  If you have any issues, please feel free to file an issue in the issue tracker, or mention it via email or gitter.

-##### Contributing
+To use NumPy, one needs a modified Cython, and then to pip install directly from NumPy's github to force re-running Cython.  If you are running in our docker distribution, you can do:
+
+```
+pip install git+git://github.com/numpy/numpy@v1.11.0
