What platform is it compatible with ?

Hello,

I tried to build ta-box with python 3.11 on macOS but end up quickly with compilation errors. Are there known compatibility limits ?
Thanks

This error might be caused due to the fact that the WMA function has not been finished yet.

I'm currently testing with Windows and Linux. Because no platform-related features are used, MacOS should work too. Compared to Ta-LIB, TA-Box is still under development and missing many functions.

Oh right, the marks mark ported indicators I guess.
I can't install it with pip either (get compilation errors in ACOS).
The pure python implementation is a great idea, that would allow to use it in many more contexts.
Keep up the great work ! I'll watch your repo.

Thanks for your attention, I will temporarily remove the WMA function in main branch and switch another branch for development to make pip install from main branch possible. Besides, my future plan is using ChatGPT to convert some C functions into Python.

Thanks, I might try to play a bit with ta-box if I can get it to install.
Tell me when I can try to pip install again, thanks !

[jstzwj]

I updated the main branch, you can try the command pip install git+https://github.com/quantmew/ta-box.git to install ta-box now.

Well, installation is ok and a quick test with the simple Add function is good too.
Thanks, I can't wait to see more functions implemented ;)

It has been two years, and with the help of large language models, I have translated 70 out of 158 functions using LLM.
