Downloading a list of stocks using the package in Python 3.3 under Windows 7 failed with the following stack trace (same result with secure and insecure connection):

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\requests-2.10.0-py3.3.egg\requests\packages\urllib3\connection.py", line 142, in _new_conn (self.host, self.port), self.timeout, **extra_kw) File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\requests-2.10.0-py3.3.egg\requests\packages\urllib3\util\connection.py", line 91, in create_connection raise err File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\requests-2.10.0-py3.3.egg\requests\packages\urllib3\util\connection.py", line 81, in create_connection sock.connect(sa) TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Pinging finance.yahoo.com does not raise any issues though!

Thank you for your report. This will be investigated but it might take a while; there is no ETA yet.
