This commit removes the ability to reference a shared TradingEnvironment through the zipline.finance.trading module. In place, the classes that require a TradingEnvironment, or its child AssetFinder, contain their own references to those objects.
This commit also adds serialization utilities that allow for the pickling/unpickling of objects without unintentionally their TradingEnvironments or AssetFinders.
This commit modifies the DataFrameSource and DataPanelSource to accept only Int64Indexes on the incoming data and moves the burden of mapping user identifiers to TradingAlgorithm.run().
If a SID hasn't started trading yet, pandas' convention is to use nans.
Before this change, zipline would raise an exception if there were nans in the
input data.
We now skip events where the prices contains a nan and has not been traded
before (in which case forward fill).
Fixes#446.
In support of source that emits a subclass of Event which defines some
fields as properties instead of doubling the value in the
`Event.__dict__`
Use hasattr instead of the overridden __contains__ method of the Event
class, so that when non-algorithm facing code checks for field existence,
properties count.
Intentionally not touching the `__contains__` in Event, to avoid
changing, at the moment, any algo behavior that relies on the
`__contains__` behavior's use of `__dict__`
This adds a new data source that emits events
with certain user-specified frequency (minute
or daily).
This allows users to backtest and debug an
algorithm in minute mode to provide a cleaner
path towards Quantopian.
Python 3 uses the `__next__` method instead of `next`,
and uses the syntax of `next(foo)` accordingly.
Add `__next__` and `next` side-by-side so both Python 2 and 3 have
a method that can be used during iteration.
Use the six module to import functions and types that are
consistent between Python 2 and 3, so that one code base can
support both versions.
- Use integer types instead of int and long.
- Use string_types instead of basestring.
- Account for iteritems, itervalues, iterkeys.
- Use six.moves for filter and zip, reduce
- Use compatible bytes for md5 hasher.
- xrange and range
The latest flake8 release in now 1.5, which pulls in pep8: 1.3.4a0
The upgrade pep8 has changes to what it picks up as lint.
Making code base compatible, so that new devs can install pep8
from PyPI and not have friction over the version difference.
Currently using these ignores in the config file:
```
[pep8]
ignore = E124,E125,E126
```
Ignoring these since they are difficult to squash while maintaining
an 80 char line length, and appear spurious.
Should address later.
Updates Travis config, README, and pip requirements to reflect change.
Mostly whitespace, line width and other spacing changes.
Also, removes use of deprecated has_key in favor of `in`
Going forward new patches should pass running `flake8` before
submission.
