Hi @westurner

That sounds interesting. We would welcome a PR with the need changes for conda support.

@mbasset there is currently a broken version of Quandl on default Anaconda channel as of now..

[mbasset]

@machbio Could you elaborate on how the package is broken? Our newest package has not yet been uploaded to Anaconda so some of the new features will not work.

[machbio]

quandl: 2.8.9 is the version on Conda - it does not have ApiConfig ; i am not sure whether you supported API calls in that version.

[mbasset]

@machbio You will need to look at our older docs for the version until the new 3.x release is updated on conda. https://github.com/quandl/quandl-python/tree/v2.8.7

However we highly recommend you use the new version as it includes many improvements and fixes. Not sure what system / python version you're running on however you should be able to install the new version using pip for now as described in our instructions.

[machbio]

Yes, the Pip install works Good.. just wanted to let you know about the broken Conda install..

[westurner]

conda install pip; pip install quandl should work.

[westurner]

It's also possible to build from git.
