pip install openstef

A version of the pywin32 package will be installed as a secondary dependency along with the installation of the openstef package. Since conda relies on an old version of pywin32, the new installation can break conda's functionality. The following command can solve this issue:

pip install pywin32==300

For more information on this issue see the readme of pywin32 or this Github issue.

To help you get started, a set of fundamental example notebooks has been created. You can access these offline examples here.

A complete implementation including databases, user interface, example data, etc. is available at: https://github.com/OpenSTEF/openstef-reference
