This isn't a Python question. If you take a look at the csv file that you download from Yahoo, you will see that it only contains 2 digits of precision. There's no way to make Python print out 4 digits of precision when it is only provided with 2. You will need to find out if there is a way to ask for more precision in the Yahoo API. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
