Hi!I am using ystockquote with the following code: def get_historical_prices(symbol, start_date, end_date): """ Get historical prices for the given ticker symbol.

I need to print out 4 decimals. print ystockquote.get_historical_prices('EURUSD=X','20120101','20120301') Some suggestions?
The code prints what it receives; the data it receives has only 2 decimal places. This question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11496418/yql-forex-historical-prices-queries-how-to-change-default-precision says that it's Yahoo doing the rounding to 2 decimal places. It looks like you'll have to find another way to get what you want. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
