Hi all, especially Marcin of course,
I just wanted to report how the setup of gretl4py worked for me in
practice, nothing special. This is an old computer (Sandybridge
4-core) running Windows 10.
All should be supported.
Then I downloaded gretl4py.zip and extracted it somewhere. In the
Anaconda prompt I navigated to where I had extracted it and ran
"python.exe install.py" successfully. Finally I did as described on
the web page and ran estimators.py inside the demo dir, also successfully.
Good!
So everything went fine so far - I wasn't entirely sure whether the
standard Python distro was needed
No, Mini/Anaconda is just self-contained replacement for python.org
distribution.
The only thing is that the demo output was so long that I couldn't
scroll back all the way in the console (prompt) window - I only got
until Model 2 and couldn't see Model 1. I'm sure the console settings
could be adjusted somewhere, but as I said, I wanted to test as a
standard user with default settings.
Well, this probably should be changed. However, the most interesting
thing you'll find in '/examples/*'. Note, that in 0.2 we'll changed data
interface (it's simpler, faster, and robust), but calls to estimators
stay untouched. And - we have .fcast() method (still in progress, but
working).
