Stock Program

• 

  This is the stock program. It runs on idle

Inspiration

I was learning Python and a week ago I tried to make a stock program but it didn't work. So I tried again this hackathon and using the information I got from the teachers in workshops and other people, I got it to work!

What it does

So basically you have to input a stock name and it gives out the stock price

How I built it

I used the urrlib module to search for data from yahoo finance. Then I used the re module to search for the stock price.

Challenges I ran into

I couldn't get it to ask "Enter your stock" constantly. Some stocks like GOOG didn't work. There were no colors.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It was very exciting because I just started Python a week ago and just got off the basics so it was cool to make a functional stock program.

What I learned

I learned how to parse data from the web.

What's next for Stock Program

Probably like if you mistyped a stock name it could give suggestions.

Also, one more thing I couldn't find a place for you guys to try it out.....sorry I am just a beginner.

Built With
