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).
