QuickFix includes bindings for Python. How do I install QuickFix so that I can import quickfix in Python on Windows?

  • easy_install quickfix doesn't work
  • both binary and source downloads don't include setup.py
  • The source download has the following folder called python (amongst many others) - how do I use it?

enter image description here

Even less promising is the binary download which has a .lib file and an include folder with all the header files.

Please don't assume knowledge about makefiles or swig :)

    I'm marking this as the right answer as it solved my problem, but if someone will post a description of how this could be done manually I'll transfer the answer as it would be a better fit for the question – Jonathan Livni May 31 '11 at 09:50
  • A repository completely awesome! Thank you very much, cgohlke. And @Jonathan for asking exactly what the most of us think. ;) – toscanelli Jul 07 '14 at 13:54

I don't see any Windows project files, and SWIG implies that there is some native (i.e. C/C++) code to be compiled. Odds are fairly good that this simply won't work under Windows, although you may try Cygwin if it's really important to get this working.

  • This is just a sub-directory called python which is part of the entire project which has a visual studio solution and much more. I showed only this as I thought this would be the key – Jonathan Livni May 30 '11 at 18:23
