Get list of yahoo ticker symbols from "foreign" IDs, such as ISIN #51

Yahoo ticker symbols are quite uncommon. In order to find securities systematically one usually uses IDs like ISIN / SEDOL or Bloomberg Tickers. Since yahoo made up it's own representations, it would be more than useful to translate a list of "foreign" IDs (e.g. the ones I mentioned) into yahoo tickers. Does anayone know of an approach to achieve this using this repo or an alternative workaround?

This would actually be really useful.

For my case I'm just using tickers. For example LSE:BOTB in yahoo finance is BOTB.L.

I presume it's a simple mapping for tickers in countries for my case.
