pybg is a set of wrappers and extensions to QuantLib. It is inspired by, and borrows freely from Enthought's PyQL Cython wrappers for QuantLib.
The purpose of this libraries is to:
Provide a interface to QuantLib's fixed-income capabilities that is easily used in a Python front end.
Minimize the extent of new data types needed to communicate with the library. For example, python datetime objects are used instead of QuantLib Dates.
