How to use a module not included in Pythonista
-
I'm a total newbie to Pythonista and not terribly knowledgeable about Python. I would like to use the yahoofinancials package (https://pypi.org/project/yahoofinancials) in a program to be run from Pythonista. It is known to work in Python 3.6 and depends on beautifulsoup4 and pytz to work. Is there any hope to get it working in Pythonista?
Can I do the install manually without running pip? If so, what would be the steps?
If I must run pip, what is the latest approved and most straightforward way to do that?

Only pure python modules. -
this module works from what I can tell (have not tested all methods). It depends on beautifulsoup and Pytz. I looked through the
Code and it’s just Python. To install this get “Stash” then inside of Stash type:pip install yahoofinancials
this will install the module and you will be able to use it by importing into your program.
