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.
Implements Quandl support for Python.
It was not possible to derive from Quandl in order to select the column. If the data did not have "close", it would thrown an exception since it would look for this work in a dictionary.
It is now possible to select the column.
See example QuandFuturesDataAlgorithm.py
Some python algorithms suffered corrections to run under the new python framework (pythonnet).
Others were deleted because some features will be supported in futures implementations.
