Which markets are included? Fail to build reppy dependecy on OSX

[alexgrca]

Hi Benny, thanks for your script. I have the same issues while installing reppy and I used the old version of yahoo ticker download as I read in other post.

I would like to ask you if the script in Europe is limited to germany and france? Would it be possible to download more EU countries?? Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Austria for instance?

Thanks a lot!

Ticker symbols are traded on an exchange. A quick look in the output reveals some ticker symbols to be associated with AMS (or Amsterdam Stock Exchange, located in The Netherlands). So yes, it includes an exchange in at least one of your listed countries. I do not have information about which exchanges are associated with specific countries. One will have to do research in order to obtain this information.

But, it get even more complicated. Some ticker symbols are associated with a specific country but are exchanged on an exchange of another country! A great example is Royal Dutch Shell PLC. Which is a Dutch company (I hope, haha. You can't ever be sure in today's globalized market) but exchanged on the Londen stock exchange. I do not possess this information either.

An API might exist for more information about the ticker symbols or the exchanges. If something like that exist please raise it here and I might incorporate it into Yahoo-ticker-downloader.

Does this answer your question?

Hello Benny, thanks a lot for your help. I have seen that your in your output appears stocks from the exchanges I mentioned before. Unfortunately I am getting some errors and is not working:

1. I cannot install the last version of yahoo-ticker-symbol-downloader because of the reppy issue I have read in other posts: " Failed building wheel for reppy"

2. I have downloaded the previous version and try to download the stocks from the exchange MCE (extracted from your output example) and I am getting the following errors.

I think this tool is amazing. Do you have any idea about this errors? Are you running it in linux or mac? I am mac user.

Thanks a lot

Which Macintosh and xcode are you using? Can you try the latest version?

[alexgrca]

Hi Benny, I am using MacOs Mojave 10.14. I am not an expert of programing.. I just install the package through the console "pip install yahoo...." and I am getting the error about reppy.

Regarding xcode... I am not sure which version do I have, if I have one because I am not using it.

Okay, have you tried all solutions in https://github.com/seomoz/reppy/issues/45 ? Can you tell which work or don't work? If that still fails I'll have to replace reppy by a pure python version.

( Problems with reppy also happened on windows. https://github.com/Benny-/Yahoo-ticker-symbol-downloader/issues/46 )

Hi Benny, thanks for your answer. When I was having this problem I searched a lot on google and I also found the link you are showing. I tried in the terminal: CFLAGS=-stdlib=libc++ pip install reppy but I was still getting the same problems.

The other solutions are neither working.

Changing the dependency to a pure python version is the best option. It is planned, but there is no ETA when this is finished.
