Migrating from Stata to Python
Use Rpy2 and call the R var package.
Some coworkers who have been struggling with Stata 11 are asking for my help to try to automate their laborious work. They mainly use 3 commands in Stata:

tsset  (sets a time series analysis)

as in: tsset year_column, yearly

varsoc (Obtain lag-order selection statistics for VARs)

as in: varsoc column_a column_b

vec (vector error-correction model)

as in: vec column_a  column_b, trend(con) lags(1) noetable

Does anyone know any scientific library that I can use through python for this same functionality?
