    Hi Wes – Pandas 0.8 is looking great. Question however – I note you have updated the resample function for ‘ohlc (open high low closes)’. However, I have already have an ohlc DataFrame (using minute data). What can i used to aggregate periods (ie 5 minutes, 10 minutes etc)? Am I incorrect in saying that resample/ohlc wont be able to deal with that? if not, could you suggest something that would?

    There’s no specific handling of that right now– you can aggregate one of the OHLC fields but that probably wouldn’t quite be what you want. It would be a nice addition to the library to be able to further downsample OHLC data

    HI Wes, loving your book, thank you! I’m a molecular biologist who’s always liked playing with computers, now my job pretty much has me doing data analysis all the time (next gen sequencing). Python has been good to me, but I’m using R more and more, which is fine (its great after all), but its nice to know I can stay in my comfort zone for some of this stuff. Cheers
