I would like to write a utility in Python that takes a stock symbol as
an input and returns a current price. Suggestions on how to do this are
welcome. I was thinking of an approach that would go out to a page like
finance.yahoo.com, entering the stock symbol and then collecting the
results and parsing them for the price. But it has been awhile since I
used pythton and I'm not sure I ever really knew how to do this.
TIA
