Python access to WRDS Data
Project description
WRDS-Py is a library for extracting data from WRDS data sources and getting it into Pandas. The library allows users to access data from WRDS and extract data using SQL statements. The data that is returned is read into a Pandas data frame.
Installation
Mac OS/Linux
$ python setup.py install
Windows
The WRDS-PY package requires Pandas and Psycopg2. Binaries of these can be found here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#psycopg
Once the two required packages are installed, you can run $ python setup.py install
