pandas 1.x?

[WillForan]

Is support for pandas 1.x in the scope of zipline-trader? Is this up to quantopian/zipline? (quantopian#2243 quantopian#2616)

I started to see what the upgrading looks like

Hi, not currently no. once everything is stable we could start looking at upgrades.

For what it's worth, shortly before Quantopian announced their shutdown, one of zipline's devs had started a branch with the obvious (well, at least to me, an aspiring Python noob...) intention of making zipline compatible with the latest pandas versions. I guess this will never get completed now, but hopefully it's a decent starting point.

Hi, @WillForan did you happen to make this transition?
I would like to understand if this is possible and what is the effort required to move to pandas 1.X

@WillForan i started working on this, and except for quarter-estimates all tests are passing. #165
