Any thought are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If you're using ProfitPy from SVN, you also need to get IbPy from SVN.

installed first ibpy and then profitpy by svn.
this is certainly a python newbie problem
I can successfully:
>>> from ib.opt.message import messageTypeNames
but only when I am in the ibpy folder.
I have tried exporting PYTHONPATH's appropriately but with no
success.
Any hints?
Troy Melhase
Sure.
1. move out of the "ibpy folder", start python, and try the import again.
2. what is the exact PYTHONPATH setting? it should be something like
"export PYTHONPATH=/home/thor/code/ibpy/trunk" -- notice the lack of
a trailing "/ib"
3. verify that the python that imports ib is the same python that you
use to start profitpy
4. check the sys.path directories for other copies of ibpy; perhaps
you have an older release tucked away in
/usr/lib/python2.x/site-packages/
From what you describe, my bet is #2. HTH,
And FWIW, I've finally got API version 9.51 working with python 2.6,
so there's a new release around the corner...

I guess the problem was that I had been using the python setup.py
install path which created conflicting eggs. After deleting those and
setting the PYTHONPATH=/.../ipby/trunk/:/.../profitpy/trunk/ then ./
bin/profit_workbench successfully starting profitpy. Although there
was some errors.

These didn't stop the app from opening. And also, I am using python
2.6...
When I get comfortable with the code base I will ask more questions,
and hopefully contribute some backtesting code. I have some monte-
carlo routines in python which generate various market conditions and
could be used for stress testing trading ideas.
Thanks again,

These are from a missing settings file. It should only happen once.
The other output is entirely normal.

Hm. The code in ibpy svn doesn't work 100% with python2.6. As I said
earlier, that will be fixed Real Soon.

I'm happy to answer any and all questions. And patches are always welcome!
Regarding your monte-carlo routines, do you envision a GUI for
configuring and/or testing? That's the direction I've started down
with the neural network designer, and in general, is the direction for
the package.

You're very welcome. Please keep us posted on your progress.
