Brad, GB, This is an approach that would be difficult to do on a Mac, since users have to specially compile Gnucash to include python bindings. I don't know about for Windows, but it may be an issue there, too.
Long term, that may be a viable approach, but if you're going to go that route, using and modifying the established tool (Finance::Quote) might be more helpful to the communities that use that tool. Looking at the (extremely dated, and therefore perhaps incomplete or incorrect) wiki page for python in Gnucash, I see https://github.com/hjacobs/gnucash-stock-portfolio mentioned, which might be a starting point for you if you're set on using python.
