Dear Gretl Community,
It’s been almost exactly 11 months since I started a new gretl-related
project: *gretl4py*. Over this time, I’ve spent countless hours writing
and testing the module, learning a lot about the inner workings of
*libgretl*, and rediscovering my long-dormant C++ skills. (After 20
years away from the language, I found myself in a new, much better
world! 😄)
Today, I’m happy to announce the release of *version 0.2*, now available
via PyPI for the three major operating systems: Windows, macOS, and
Linux. This means you can install it simply by running:
/python -m pip install gretl4py/
Please note that the official PDF documentation is slightly outdated, as
it mostly refers to version 0.1. For a better starting point, see the
simplified documentation at:

You can also look at example scripts here:

At this point, I’d like to thank everyone who has contributed in some
way to the gretl4py project—especially:
*
*Allin Cottrell*, for helping me integrate libgretl functionality
into the bindings,
*
*Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti*, for testing and inspiring ideas about
what could be added and how,
*
and *Federico Fiorani*, for his contributions to the first version
of the package.
Of course, any remaining bugs are my responsibility. If you find any, or
have questions about the package, don’t hesitate to speak up!
With best regards,
Marcin
