Dear Forum Friends,
Am I asking dumb questions? Three posts have gone unanswered.

I don't think so. I've also had the issue of a number of posts getting lots of views but no replies. I think the issue is the large number of people, myself included, unfamiliar with python and the small pool of people who are both decent at programming AND willing to help and answer questions.
Hello, zipline + python + numpy + pandas is a bit complicated!
I would recommend:
- Python Cookbook, 3rd Edition - David Beazley, Brian K. Jones
- Python for Data Analysis: Data Wrangling with Pandas, NumPy, and IPython
The following websites:
- https://docs.python.org/2/
- http://www.numpy.org/
- http://pandas.pydata.org/
Also you can install zipline locally:
- https://github.com/quantopian/zipline
if you do install it, then check out:
- http://matplotlib.org/
have fun :-)
Thanks John. Out of everything above, I'd recommend finding good python references and learning pandas, which is very useful for Quantopian. For example, all the data in zipline (pipeline, history, etc) is returned as dataframes:
