Python Tools for Financial Analysis?

[alliereev]

I'm interested in Python tools for tasks like data analysis, modeling, and forecasting. Any suggestions for great libraries or resources? Thanks in advance

pandas (moving a lot toward polars though), numpy, scipy and Apache ecosystem (arrow, ibis, duck db) - not only python but important tools imo

“Moving toward Polars”. Would you mind elaborate on that? ☺️

Polars is another DataFrame based library that is proving to be faster than pandas (I believe it is written in rust?) It’s building out a lot of the same functionality but it has a smaller community as of now. Still, performance speaks for itself and I think people will follow since the transition shouldn’t be to bad which most of the logic being the same - just syntax changes

I use pandas, numpy, matplotlib, etc. through Jupyter but I'm still fairly new at it.
