I realize that my question is not about the standard library. The only
reason I am asking here is, if I remember correctly, a regular
contributor, Danny Yoo, works at Yahoo. I am hoping he, or someone else
here can help me understand what is happening.
I am writing a program using the yahoo_finance module. Over the past
week I have been testing and refining it. At first the only errors I was
seeing were mine. Lately I have been a lot of these errors.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/yahoo_finance/__init__.py", line
120, in _request
_, results = response['query']['results'].popitem()
KeyError: 'query'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jfb/MyProgs/StockHistory/stock_history_oop.py", line 75,
in <module>
Stocks().run()

in run

in get_stock_info
yahoo = Share(stk)

142, in refresh
self.data_set = self._fetch()
File
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/yahoo_finance/__init__.py", line
181, in _fetch
data = super(Share, self)._fetch()
File
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/yahoo_finance/__init__.py", line
134, in _fetch
data = self._request(query)
File
"/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/yahoo_finance/__init__.py", line
123, in _request
raise YQLQueryError(response['error']['description'])
yahoo_finance.YQLQueryError: Query failed with error: "'No definition
found for Table yahoo.finance.quotes'".
It has gotten to the point where if I run the program 10 times, 9 of
them will return the above error before I get the data I want. The part
of my program that retrieves the data from Yahoo has not changed in
quite a while.
Is it possible that I have exceeded a Yahoo limit on requests from one
IP address? Test data I am using gets the historical info on 3 stocks
over a 3 day period.
Thanks, Jim
