Python support?

[Michael Lynch-5]

Hi all,

Very excited to see this an open source package of this caliber supporting Python!

What's the status of python support for quantlib?
Do I need to install the C++ package?

There were no examples in the Windows install. But if found some in the CVS. I got an error running:

 /cvsroot/quantlib/QuantLib-Python/QuantLib/test/Attic/implied_volatility.py:

ImportError: cannot import name EuropeanAnalyticEngine

The 'Deprecated List' web page says we should use EuropeanAnalyticEngine.  Where is it?  I see EuropeanOption (depreciated class) in Quantlib.py.

Are there any work arounds?

Thanks,
Mike

Michael,
        sorry for the late reply. The Python module works, but lacks in  
documentation compared with C++. I'll try and translate the C++  
examples. In the meantime, your best bet might be to have a look at
the .i files in the SWIG folder. They declare the interface of the  
exported classes and functions. Feel free to write again if you get  
stuck somewhere.

That depends on your platform. If you're using Linux or another
Unix-like OS, you need to install the C++ package. If you're under  
Windows instead, the distributed Python module is self-contained.
