Translation: My Indicators.

It provides an almost real time reading of a great number of Mexican Economic Indicators, such as Dollar, Yen, British Pound, Euro equivalencies, Gold, Oil, Silver values, Dow Jones, NASDAQ, S&P 500, Nikkei 225, Consumer Prices Indexes, UDIS, Government Bonds, Unemployment rates, Federal Reserves, and much more.

It obtained these values automatically through a series of crons that were set to run at different but very often intervals, some of which still function, but some may need some updating.

Eventually this system became the basis for a profitable Mexican startup started on 2010 and the system was discountinued in this form, but I thought the code could maybe help someone make a something similar.

The site could prove difficult to understand because it's entirely in spanish (it was a Mexican venture). So I'll go over the interesting parts and link them here directly.

• Note: there are more sections to the site, but these ones were the most used ones

• Python
• Django
• MySQL
• numpy
• scipy
• matplotlib

Should be good to go as soon as you create the database, user and password for it and run a quick:

python manage.py syncdb

Of course, it's pretty useless without the data, which, as I mentioned, could be hard to get through the crons unless updated. If you wanna see it working with the last used data (minus forums posts, users, etc.), you can visit misindicadores.davemode.com.
