pandas-finance project goals.PyData ? TA-Lib #1

Open femtotrader opened 8 years ago

Hi David,

In README.rst you might change title and project goals

"pandas-datareader" -> "pandas-finance"

"Up to date remote data access for pandas, works for multiple versions of pandas." -> "..."

I also wonder if this project shouldn't be part of PyData. CC: @jreback @wesm @jorisvandenbossche @hayd @twiecki @sinhrks (sorry for others that are not mentioned here)

Don't you think this project shouldn't implement Pandas implementation of technical analysis indicators ? In such a case you can find my version https://github.com/femtotrader/pandas_talib CC: @llazzaro

Kind regards

Thanks - I updated the README.

My thought was that I develop this outside of pydata initially - if it becomes useful / popular, we can move it into pydata, but happy to hear other people's view on this.

Yes, I think technical analysis indicators would be useful here, I will take a look at your project. Thanks.

See https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader/issues/161

https://github.com/bpsmith/tia also provides technical analysis
