Tensorflow with Backtrader

  • T

    Hello all,

    first tests with Backtrader works fine, and a sample-strategie can be backtested via IB-API.
    It is installed by GitHub-Download and "python setup.py install" on top of Python=3.8.5

    Now Tensorflow needs to be added and requirements need to be exactly fullfilled.
    Due to my admin-experiences I am very exact with versions, just to avoid hellfire caused by version-inaccuracies even when it worked fine in first place.

    With Backtrader and Tensorflow there is now a conflict in requirement that is a not solvable in a satisfying way:

    It sais:
    "Backtrader-requirements: Python 3.2 / 3.3/ 3.4 / 3.5"
    https://www.backtrader.com/docu/installation/

    Tensorflow-requirements: Python 3.5–3.8
    https://www.tensorflow.org/install/pip

    Sounds ok with 3.5
    ...but when installing Tensorflow ontop of Python=3.5 "conda" can install only Tensorflow 1.10.
    And when explicitly installing Tensorflow=2 it says, it needs Python 3.6

    Therefore 3.6 is essential.
    But is this ok for Backtrader?
    How strict are the requirements for Backtrader?

    Just read about https://github.com/backtrader2/backtrader
    1.) There is sais even 3.7 is ok for backtrader2, but this GitHub-Repository is just a copy and not yet vaild?
    2.) Can I install Backtrader on Python=3.6? Anyone has experiences with this?

    Thanks alot!
