                       ---------------------
                        http://quantlib.org

QuantLib-Python is a module for quantitative finance.
It is a SWIG wrap of QuantLib, a C++ open source library.
Version 0.2.0 of the C++ library and the Python extension have been released.

The QuantLib project is aimed at providing a comprehensive software framework
for quantitative finance. QuantLib is a free/open source library for modeling,
trading, and risk management in real-life.

Appreciated by quantitative analysts and developers, it is intended for
academics and practitioners alike, eventually promoting a stronger interaction
between them. Quantlib offers tools that are useful both for practical
implementation and for advanced modeling, with features such as market
conventions, yield curve bootstrapping, solvers, PDEs, Monte Carlo, exotic
options, VAR, and so on. More complex tools such as interest rate models are
next on the to-do list.
