Hi Phuket2, Thanks very much for your input and source code. Will definitely check it out. I have made an dashboard in Excel about the stock market where I download stock/index data and want to translate that to Pythonista. Online I read all sorts of solutions with Python on a desktop with flask, beautiful soup.. etc.., but didn't know how to do that in Pythonista. My aim is to use the iPad more and more instead of the desktop and finally make an app out of it :-). Your response is very much appreciated!

Hi everybody,

Does anyone here has experience with building dashboards in Pythonista? What modules, methods, ways to go would you advise. Love to hear ideas and see examples.

I'm trying to get stock data from Yahoo. Wrote a couple of lines that seemed to work on the desktop. But does anybody knows if I'm doing it right and where I can find the .csv file with the pulled stock data? I don't get an error and can't find my data.

import os
import urllib
import csv

def pulldata(stock):
        urllib.urlretrieve('http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s='+stock+'&
        a=07&b=25&c=2014&d=07&e=29&f=2014&g=d&ignore=.csv')
        return

pulldata('RUT')

Thanks guys for that quick response, worked like a charm,and sorry it is indeed ^RUT instead of RUT :-)
