Marco vd Heijden:

I want to try this but i have not yet stated with it because i am used to code in MQL4/5.

I also code Python just not for MetaTrader.

I think these libraries will surface soon.

Especially in connection with Neuronet.

I'm really waiting for this.

Instead of waiting, why not make one???

Do you know why MQL5 is very popular? It is because there is a whole bunch of people out there writing libraries to support it. Not a single person, nor a company, can develop a language and it's libraries and make the efficient if no one is using them. I code python, and MQL5 and a bunch of other languages too, but developing a fully functional trading system in python will need more than my just me. 

How about we start it together? I'd like that. ;) 

Not just like, but love it too.

The community for Python algo-trading is much larger than MetaTrader. Once you get the right libraries all you need is to use MT5 for the data and order exec. 

import talib

import pymt5adapter as mta
from pymt5adapter.symbol import Symbol


def get_bands(symbol):
    rates = mta.copy_rates_from_pos(symbol, mta.TIMEFRAME.H1, 0, 5)
    bb = talib.BBANDS(rates['close'], timeperiod=5, nbdevup=2, nbdevdn=2, matype=0)
    return bb


def main():
    symbol = Symbol("EURUSD")
    bands = get_bands(symbol.name)
    for val, name in zip((b[-1] for b in bands), 'high medium low'.split()):
        print(f"{name} = {symbol.normalize_price(val)}")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    with mta.connected():
        main()

Some link to a community please? I've never encountered such before. 

Though I wouldn't use it now since it is not possible to debug python code in tester. It is missing such an important feature in strategy formulation.

For IB ... or some broker ,they provide python API, That can use python to do all without MQL. 
If want to use python lib in MQL , should build an interface between both side. .... Lots of work to do >,<

I'm interested in this community too!

I've coded a machine learning based algo in python (...) and I'd like to join that community for sharing experience with other programmers :)

Here is a good place to start... https://www.reddit.com/r/algotrading/

Most of the quants there use python for trading.
