Python module for real-time quotes from Google Finance
What it is
A small Python module for getting real-time stock data from Google Finance. It exposes a simple call that returns current prices and related quote fields for given tickers, which keeps integration into scripts short. Developers who want a quick price lookup inside a Python project are the intended users. It depends on how Google serves its finance pages, and changes there have historically broken tools of this kind, so test it before building on it.
