qPython is a Python library providing support for interprocess communication between Python and kdb+ processes, it offers:
For more details please refer to the documentation
_.
To install qPython from PyPI:
$ pip install qpython
Please do not use old PyPI package name: exxeleron-qpython.
Documentation
qPython documentation is generated with help of `Sphinx`_ document generator.
In order to build the documentation, including the API docs, execute:
``make html`` from the doc directory.
Documentation is built into the: ``doc/build/html/`` directory.
Compile Cython extensions
qPython utilizes Cython
_ to tune performance critical parts of the code.
Instructions:
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
Build binary distribution
Instructions:
- Execute: ``python setup.py bdist``
Testing
qPython uses py.test as a test runner for unit tests.
Instructions:
PYTHONPATH
py.test
Requirements
qPython requires numpy 1.8 to run.
Optional requirements have to be met to provide additional features:
- tune performance of critical parts of the code:
- Cython 0.20.1
- support serialization/deserialization of ``pandas.Series`` and ``pandas.DataFrame``
- pandas 0.14.0
- run Twisted sample:
- Twisted 13.2.0
- build documentation via Sphinx:
- Sphinx 1.2.3
- mock 1.0.1
Required libraries can be installed using `pip`_.
To install all the required dependencies, execute:
``pip install -r requirements.txt``
Minimal set of required dependencies can be installed by executing:
``pip install -r requirements-minimal.txt``
