Renames zipline.utils.test_utils to zipline.testing
Adds zipline.testing.fixtures.ZiplineTestCase to manage setup and
teardown and adds mixins to define fixtures like an asset finder or
trading calendar.
EarningsCalendar loader.
- Moves most of AdjustedArray back into Python. The window iterator is
the only part that's performance-intensive.
- Adds a bootleg templating system for creating specialized versions of
AdjustedArrayWindow for each concrete type we care about.
- Adds support for differently dtyped terms in pipeline. This allows us
to use datetime64s which are needed in the EarningsCalendar.
- Adds EarningsCalendar dataset for the next and previous earnings
announcements in pipeline.
- Adds in memory loader for EarningsCalendar.
- Adds blaze loader for EarningsCalendar.
Put the logic for reading and writing the equity price and adjustment
data into a module located in data, making it distinct from the pipeline
loader usage of the formats.
This prepares for both incoming changes of how adjustments are written,
(which includes using the bcolz daily reader as an input), as well as
eventually providing the readers to a DataPortal object.
