Is there a reasonable way to put together a Python environment with the libraries needed for running the scripts developed here on QuantConnect?  The web-based IDE is awkward and slow compared to development I do on my own systems.  I have a very simple start on an alogrithm running in QuantConnect.  I have a partner with a well thought out trading idea I am sure can be developed to run here.  At this point, simple but awkward aspects of QC are giving me a set of problems that are not really part of the program I am trying to write.  I would like to take the script I started and run it in a python environment on one of my servers where the environment is more familiar and does not the web interface complicating the world.

When the program closer to being ready for live trading, I envisioning porting it back into QC in order to have the connections to live trading, which I assume is an interface I would be better off not trying to develop, or could not do for all I know..
