Python Forum

Hi,

I would like to connect to FIX API ( wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Information_eXchange ) using python 3.4.

Everywhere "Quickfix" is recommend for this, but I was not able to find quickfix for python 3 ?!
Does anyone know if quickfix for python 3 exist? Did someone fork it or simular?

And if it does not exist, is it possible to import a python 2 modul into a python 3 script and execute the script with python 3? I guess not :D

thank you, this is also the only thing I found when searching...

If you scroll down to bottom there is written:

@wldcordeiro Has your branch moved? The link doesn't work.
Any desire from the maintainers to integrate it into the main repo?

@MaximilianR The fork has been discontinued.

Have you tried pyFIX? https://github.com/wannabegeek/PyFIX

If quickfix says it doesn't work with python3, then it doesn't work with python3. You can either spend your time trying to fix that, use a different package, switch to python2, or build your own solution (it's just a protocol, right? So Twisted would also work.)

ah, thank you! This looks very good, I will try it out. Thank you so much :)
