Part 1
Part1
In this video
I'll be showing how to setup Python on Windows 10
Look up for the Python installation from your browser
and install the one that fits your system
Here I'm downloading the 64-bit Windows version
Save it to your download folder
and double click to install
Untick things that are not needed
and custom install to the drive you want
Untick the optional features
and set the destination folder
In this case
I'll be installing Python to F drive folder "py362"
Hit "OK" and start installation
You can now remove the Python installer
Now we're going to install virtualenv
Open command prompt
Navigate to the system Python location
which is F:\py362\Scripts
from there
we pip install virtualenv
Hit [Enter]
and wait for the process
you can type pip list to check whether virtualenv is installed to the system
Part 2
We're now creating a folder in F drive to hold our virtual environment
Go to command prompt
Go to F drive and type md space "Trade"
We'll be using this folder to hold our Python trade projects
Part 3
Open a new command prompt
and navigate to our system Python location
which is F:\py362\Scripts
hit [Enter] and install a new virtual environment
to the path
F:\Trade\TradeEnv
then hit [Enter] to start installation
Exit command prompt
and go to the path to see whether the virtual environment is installed
Jump back to browser
and download Sublime Text 3
Click to download the one that fits your system
Once it's downloaded
extract all files
then cut and paste the Sublime Text folder
to your destination folder
Open up the Sublime Text folder
and doubleclick the execute file to start programming
Let's start typing some Python code
Save it as a Python file
Before you run the code
you go to Tools -> Build System and tick Python
But when you hit [Ctrl] [B] to run the code
you get error message
That's why we need to create new build
to point to our virtual environment
From the untitled sublime build file
we need to paste some codes
We can look up for these codes from web
Before we save
we need to change the "python" path
to our virtual environment
I just name it with my environment's name
so that I can easily remember
Go back to your Python file
and tick the Sublime build we've just created
and run the Python code to check if it works
Yeah! It works
Part 4
If you want to move the output panel
from bottom to right
simply hit [Ctrl], [Shift], [P]
and type "install package"
Hit [Ctrl], [Shift], [P] again
and type "install"
Hit it and you'll be able to type "buildview"
click the only selection
and wait for the installation
Now you can hit [Alt] [Shift] [2]
and see a split in between
Simply run the code again
and drag the result panel
to the right
Then you can now see the right side
displays the code result
Now
we're going to pip install several packages for trade
Open command prompt
Navigate to the virtual environment's Scripts folder
pip install pandas
This is a popular package to read and process data
We then pip install xlrd
to let us read and write Excel file with Python
Pip install matplotlib
We use this one to plot graph
We also need beautifulsoup 4 to grab web data
exit command prompt
I'm going to create a new Python file to test these packages
Before saving, make sure you're coding in the virtual environment
Save the file
We're going to read this csv file with Python packages
Let me type and run the code
Ooops I type the wrong file format excel instead of csv
Go back to change to csv in our code
and press [Ctrl] [B] to run it
There we go!
Thanks for watching
Please note that you can also install numpy + mkl, scipy, and sklearn for machine learning
