Unable to run sample `Usage` code

[spinGreekGod]

1. I installed the package empyrial and it is showing multiple errors
2. I am running python 3.9.0 and I installed plotly for the visualizations
3. I am running the sample Usage code

   
   from empyrial import empyrial, Engine

portfolio = Engine(
start_date= "2020-06-09", portfolio= ["BABA", "RELIANCE.NS", "KO", "^DJI","^IXIC"], weights = [0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2], #equal weighting by default benchmark = ["SPY"] )

empyrial(portfolio)

Hey,

So you can see the error given is NameError: name 'display' undefined.

To show the final dataframe, Empyrial uses the display function. I found this post that can help you : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49328447/display-in-python

So basically I think it gives an errror because you're not in a jupyter notebook/google colab.

To solve this you will need to:

1) Install IPython (if it's not already done)

pip install IPython

or if you are running pip3:

pip3 install IPython

2) When the installation is completed, add this import at the beginning of your code:

from IPython.display import display

Tell me if works.

I'm going to solve this as soon as possible thanks for raising the problem!
