Export from Notebook to flat file

Dear Community,

I'm trying to export the daily results of a backtest to a flat file, so I've done:

bt = get_backtest('YOUR_CODE_HERE')  
result = bt.daily_performance  
res.to_csv("result.csv",sep=",")  

but it says to me that to_csv function is not supported.

Does any of you know any function to perform it?

Regards,

Carlos

Dear Community, I'm still working on it because I did not find an answer. Does any of you have any comment?

Thank you very much

Quantopian doesn't allow exporting data from the site. The to_csv and other similar methods are not whitelisted because of this. This is primarily driven by contracts we have with our data providers which constrain us from allowing re-publishing of their data.

One should have most of the tools needed to analyze backtests within the notebook environment and minimize the need to locally download the results.
