pydalio 0.1.0

A package to help with testing of principles in decision making

PYDALIO

This package is inspired by the book of Ray Dalio, Principles. The idea is to pose a number of principle questions to make more informed, rational decisions. These can be saved and the endgoal is to be able to abstract a personal working algorithm from it.

How to get started using the package: 0. Create a virtual environment: https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/#create-it

1. pip install pydalio

2. Define your principles: a. create a .yaml file b. define principle questions as shown in example_principles.yaml c. define possible options as shown in example_principles.yaml d. Set yaml path to .env file as shown in example_config.env

3. Set database path in .env file as shown in example_config.env. Please note the name of the db (sqlite) is currently fixed at dalio.db

4. Optional: if sqlite is not installed, please install it. For more information: https://www.gurusoftware.com/the-complete-guide-to-downloading-installing-sqlite/

5. Setup environment by running the following python script: from pydalio.db import create_db from pydalio.db import initiliaze_tables

   create_db() initiliaze_tables()

6. Activate your virtual environment: https://realpython.com/python-virtual-environments-a-primer/#activate-it

7. Run the command "pydalio --help" to see all commands you can run.

8. Enjoy your journey of improved decision making!

Development track: [x] create cli application basis [ ] create orchestrating logic to run continuously [x] create sqllite db interface [x] create generalised principle questions interface [ ] create simple algorithm interface based on database.First guesstimate is decision tree algorithm or logistic regression. [ ] make a bash script to install/run globally?
