'too few arguments'

Python 2.7 Anaconda Step by step install using pip run: YahooTickerDownloader.py stocks error: "YahooTickerDownloader.py: error: too few arguments"

I was not able to reproduce this problem using Python 2.7.14 on a Linux machine using the following commands:

virtualenv "pyenv"
. ./pyenv/bin/activate
pip install Yahoo-ticker-downloader
YahooTickerDownloader.py "stocks"

Can you provider a list of all installed python packages using pip freeze?

I tried to reproduce this on windows 10 using python 2.7.? and 3.6.? but I could not reproduce it. It was not a faithful reproduction however.

It was also difficult to re-create your environment as it contained packages which might be private (pip could not download everything) and/or required a MS compiler.

You could make a python2 and/or python3 virtualenv on windows and try again. Can you report back the results?

[Alberms]

Hello, I have the same problem on windows 7.

I created a virtualenv and this is the pip "freeze" result:

(pyenv) (C:\Users\Maria\Anaconda2) C:\Users\Maria>pip freeze backports.csv==1.0.5 certifi==2018.1.18 chardet==3.0.4 et-xmlfile==1.0.1 idna==2.6 jdcal==1.3 odfpy==1.3.6 openpyxl==2.4.10 PyYAML==3.12 requests==2.18.4 tablib==0.12.1 unicodecsv==0.14.1 urllib3==1.22 xlrd==1.1.0 xlwt==1.3.0 Yahoo-ticker-downloader==2.1.1

When I try to use YahooTickerDownloader.py stocks, I have the following error:

(pyenv) (C:\Users\Maria\Anaconda2) C:\Users\Maria>YahooTickerDownloader.py stocks usage: YahooTickerDownloader.py [-h] [-i] [-e] [-E EXCHANGE] [-s SLEEP] [-p] [-m MARKET] type YahooTickerDownloader.py: error: too few arguments

Any solution?

[Benny-]

No solution as of yet. I was not yet able to reproduce the problem. I will try to reproduce it again with your configuration, @Alberms . I will report back whenever it succeeded or not.

What is this Anaconda2 ?
