Re: [Matplotlib-users] About matplotlib.finance

[David A. <zer...@gm...>]

Nice, and thanks, I'm making the charts just to my own purposes, and hopelly
use it as my Graduation ending job (I don't know ow to say this in english,
basically is the app that you deliver before getting the degree), and I wish
to improve the api, by now this is the best api to plot financial charts in
python, do you know any better? I Want to make something like the
www.advfn.com, but leave to the user to add it's own studies. I am
brazilian, and yahoo finances don't give historical quotes for my country,
I'll have to adapt to get the quotes from a bunch of csv files. Can you
suggest anything to me? =) Thanks!
