I haven't yet started to use QuantLib, but am very curious to take it
for a spin.
How does one use Quantlib from Python?
I'm running Win2k and Python 2.4.1, can I just run the Quantlib windows
binary? Do I need to download something special?

Travis,
there's no binary---the Windows installer actually installs the
source tree, and you'll have to compile it. Afterwards, you should download
the QuantLib-Python bindings and compile those as well. You'll probably
need to use Visual C++ 7.1, because Python requires it since version 2.4.
Write back if you need compilation instructions, but the process isn't
hard: for the library, open the VC7 project and compile it; and for the
Python bindings, enter the QuantLib-Python directory from the command line
and type "python setup.py build test install".
