This recipe is solely due to the programming of Corey Goldberg (corey@goldb.org). The only thing I did to it was make it into a class. I thought that by uploading it here that more people would come across it and more people could use it. It is really good. It gives you stock information.

THIS WAS ALL CREATED BY COREY GOLDBERG. I thought it would be more useful on activestate

Everything is good except this line googStock = stockInfo('GOOG')

The stockInfo should be StockInfo instead.

it goes in error because you pass self.symbol in values = self.__request(self.symbol, 'l1c1va2xj1b4j4dyekjm3m4rr5p5p6s7').split(',')
