Python projects and GitHub

Not too long ago I started learning and working with Python. It seemed a popular language and I keep hearing about it more and more. Some platforms offer the option to connect to them and download data using software like Python (WRDS). Other database owners or platforms even have built an environment within their platform to make use of it (LSEG Workspace’s CodeBook).

Programs like Stata 17 and up make it possible to use Python from within it’s program interface. Recently Microsoft announced their it’s plans to allow Python to be used from Excel (within Microsoft 365). This will make powerful Python options like Pandas, Numpy and data visualization options to be available there.

I have started making test programs and using and adapting existing programs. Some of my efforts can be found at this blog. I have started to share some code now through the platform GitHub and make these files available and free of use. In the future I will post programs there for people to use and adapt on their own: GitHub Repositories.
