+# Python for Finance (2nd ed., O'Reilly)
+
+This repository provides all Python codes and Jupyter Notebooks of the book _Python for Finance -- Mastering Data-Driven Finance_ (2nd edition) by Yves Hilpisch.
+
+<img src="http://hilpisch.com/images/py4fi_2nd_shadow.png" width="500">
+
+Visit the book page of O'Reilly under http://bit.ly/python-finance-2e or order the book under https://www.amazon.com/Python-Finance-Mastering-Data-Driven/dp/1492024333/.
+
+The codes of the book are based on Python 3.7. The codes presented in this Github repository are tested for Python 3.6 since at the time of creating it, `TensorFlow` was not yet compatible with Python 3.7. Once this has happened, appropriate changes (e.g. to the `conda` `yaml` file, see below) will be made.
+
+## Python Packages
+
+There is a `yaml` file for the installation of required Python packages in the repository. This is to be used with the `conda` package manager (see https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html). If you do not have Miniconda or Anaconda installed, we recommend to install **Miniconda 3.7** first (see https://conda.io/miniconda.html).
+
+After you have cloned the repository, do on the shell/Anaconda prompt:
+
+    cd py4fi2nd
+    conda env create -f py4fi2nd.yml
+    source activate py4fi2nd
+    jupyter notebook
+
+Then you can navigate to the Jupyter Notebook files and get started.
+
+
+## Quant Platform
+
+You can immediately use all codes and Jupyter Notebooks by registering on the Quant Platform under http://py4fi.pqp.io.
