pyaqsapi - a port of RAQSAPI to the python 3 programming environment

For users that feel more comfortable working within a python 3 environment, pyaqsapi1, a port of RAQSAPI to the python 3 language has been released. Both projects aim to maintain feature parity with the other and there are no inherent advantages to using either project over the other, except for the ability of working within the programming language environment of choice. The API of both packages are very structured similarly, both packages export the same data, use the same credentials and data source to retrieve data.
