Numpy, scipy, pa= ndas, and matplotlib are useful packages discussed in the books "Python for= Finance" by Hilpisch and "Python for Data Analysis" by McKinney. Quandl is= a good packages for importing financial and economic data. Quantopian is a= site that lets you backtest strategies coded in Python. IBpy is a package = for trading at Interactive Brokers using Python. Quantstart has e-books and= a blog about Python in finance. Robert Carver wrote a book "Systmatic Trad= ing" that has Python code, and he has a blog "Investment Idiocy". Python is= often discussed in the "programming and software" forum of wilmott.com . -------- I'm not a scientist, but... I know some people, who know that Python 3 may crash as soon as one uses the "=C2=A3" or the "=E2=82=AC" symbols. It was not the case in Python 2. I was also told, a lot of code has been ported to the Go language. #=E1=88=B4
