- Description:
- bt is a flexible backtesting framework for Python used to test quantitative
trading strategies. Backtesting is the process of testing a strategy over a
given data set. This framework allows you to easily create strategies that mix
and match different Algos. It aims to foster the creation of easily testable,
re-usable and flexible blocks of strategy logic to facilitate the rapid
development of complex trading strategies.
The goal: to save quants from re-inventing the wheel and let them focus on the
important part of the job - strategy development.
bt is coded in Python and joins a vibrant and rich ecosystem for data analysis.
Numerous libraries exist for machine learning, signal processing and statistics
and can be leveraged to avoid re-inventing the wheel - something that happens
all too often when using other languages that don't have the same wealth of
high-quality, open-source projects.

python.mk: rename PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG, document, etc
EXT_SUFFIX, according to PEP 3149, refers to the full tag and
extension for compiled extension module objects, eg .cpython-311.so,
.cpython-313t.so, etc. We do not use the correct semantic meaning,
and this usage becomes ambiguous and confusing when tags do not
match between bytecode and compiled extension module objects.
Rename our PYTHON_EXT_SUFFIX to PYTHON_TAG to align with PEP 3147's
specification of a magic tag, which consists of implementation name
and shorthand version only. This is meant for bytecode and other
files containing this tag in their filename that do not depend on
a specific Python ABI for the same version. Chase all existing
consumers.

python: bump all USE_PYTHON=distutils consumers after RUN_DEPENDS removal
Any missed ports, feel free to bump.
Any ports that need setuptools at runtime can have the devel/py-setuptools
manually added back to RUN_DEPENDS, but understand that this practice
is deprecated; see CHANGES for details. |

all: remove explicit versions in USES=python for "3.x+"
The logic in USES=python will automatically convert this to 3.8+ by
itself.
Adjust two ports that only had Python 3.7 mentioned but build fine
on Python 3.8 too.
