* Join research and main imports
* More python import clean up
* Fix failing skipped regression algorithm
We didn't experience the expected performance improvements. Locally under
unit test there was aboout an order of magnitude throughput increase, but
when run against the history benchmark, this new approach was 60% slower.
We're reverting this for now to perform further analysis and better
understand the performance profiling of the python history stack.
- Adds log to display the python version the algorithm is using.
- Fixes python algorithms that were failing because of small subtleties
like leading zeroes.
- Updates pythonnet with a version compiled with python 3.6 flags
- Changes in DockerfileFoundation: we now use miniconda to manage the python
environment.
- Took the opportunity to add NTLK (#1349), Tensorforce (#1369) and
PyTorch/Pyro (#1385).
- Changes readme in Algorithm.Python to show steps to install miniconda
This change will make it easier to add other planned brokerage features:
for Interactive Brokers, besides Financial Advisor support, we will be adding IB algorithmic orders soon (PR #1203).
