Improve README #38

@kschmid I will improve README to answer your questions. If you still have questions, throw them at me.

ValueRaider commented 10 months ago

I tagged you because you seemed confused how this caching worked.

ValueRaider commented 10 months ago

I can allow changing cache location, like with yfinance.

kschmid commented 10 months ago

yeah, was a bit confused with how it works with yfinance_cache, but also with caching in general. (Very new to the python ecosystem) I found the possibility to move caches around rather helpful. In particular while experimenting. (And I am personally not a fan of software which simply puts large junks of data somewhere. )

And I am personally not a fan of software which simply puts large junks of data somewhere.

Cache must go somewhere and my default location is typical. Many applications on Linux dump data in the same folder as YFC, and some more than YFC e.g. Web Browsers and PIP. Can't speak for Mac but probably same - maybe you should look.

sure, you are right. Most put it somewhere. I was just mentioning a personal preference.
