# IbPy - Interactive Brokers Python API

## NOTE

Beginning with release 9.73, InteractiveBrokers is now officially supporting a new Python API client (Python 3 only).
This should make this repo superfluous except for Python 2.

Interactive Brokers online trading system. IbPy implements functionality that

submit orders for stocks and futures, and more.
