在Python 3.4中安装zipline时出错

Question

I need your help to install zipline.

I am beginner in Python coding but I faced with huge barrier now... I tried to zipline in my python and I followed below process.

1. my python version is 3.6 but zipline supports 2.7 and 3.4. So I installed 3.4 python like below: conda create -n previous python =3.4.1 anaconda

In addition, I installed visual C++ 2010.

2. activate previous
3. pip install zipline

But my computer still shows below error message. I am not sure how to install zipline and solve this error. My computer is window 7, intelcore i7-4712 64bit and I installed anaconda 4.0.0(32bit)

(C:\\Anaconda3) C:\\Users\\sktsuser>activate previous

(previous) C:\\Users\\sktsuser>python --version Python 3.4.1 :: Anaconda 2.1.0 (32-bit)

(previous) C:\\Users\\sktsuser>pip install zipline

Answer 1

尝试将conda安装与Quantopian源（而不是pip）一起使用，如下所示：

conda install -c Quantopian zipline

Answer 2

That is one of the main reasons they recommend you to use virtualenv.

Here they have some details how to install using virtualenv

http://www.zipline.io/development-guidelines.html

$ mkvirtualenv zipline
$ ./etc/ordered_pip.sh ./etc/requirements.txt
$ pip install -r ./etc/requirements_dev.txt
$ pip install -r ./etc/requirements_blaze.txt

Note for this you need to checkout their source code or the requirements.txt from github: https://github.com/quantopian/zipline/tree/master/etc

That way you can create a virtual env with the right python needed by zipline
