Hi everyone!
I'm relatively new to programming and I started using Visual Studio. I want to create my code on VS, so I downloaded the zipline repository from GitHub but now I don't know how to reference it in a new project, so that VS intellisense could help me finishing my phrases :)
Any help?
Quantopian script on Visual Studio
update: I installed zipline from pip, but for some reason I couldn't update numpy to the latest version.
Still, Intellisense is not helping me :/
I believe you need to explicitly add Zipline to the project. pip installs the library in your site packages which should be in C:\python27 or C:\python34 depending on your python version. I assume this is on windows because you are using VS. To get numpy, you might need to get a precompiled version of numpy for windows. You might also want to check out the zipline google group for more zipline specific help.

Hi Joe, thanks for the answer. Yes, I added Zipline to the project, but I don't find all the classes shown on Quantopian.
I wrote:
import zipline as zl
and I need to write zl. to access the classes, right? But that's not the case in Quantopian, is it?
I guess the problem is that I know some C# and I'm not familiar enough with Python...
