[moneydance] python modules urllib

[Jim Karcz]

That brings back some memories.

The following if a bit of  a hack, but it worked.

I think I did a cut and paste to a text file from my site where I 
displayed the entire price history.  I then parsed the results with a 
perl script which put it into the format that the python script below 
needs. I populated the list of setPriceForSecurity function calls, one 
for each date.

I'm not sure where I got the script from though.  I did this back in aug 
of 2006 so it might still work.  I am also not sure why everything is 
written as 1/price.



##set_prices.py

root = moneydance.getRootAccount()
currencies = root.getCurrencyTable()

def setPriceForSecurity(symbol, price, dateint):
   security = currencies.getCurrencyByTickerSymbol(symbol)
   if not security:
     print "No security with symbol/name: %s"%(symbol)
     return
   if dateint:
     security.setUserRate(price)
   security.setSnapshotInt(dateint, price)
   print "Successfully set price for %s"%(security)


setPriceForSecurity('HW-GEF', 1/71.116258, 20050218)
setPriceForSecurity('HW-GEF', 1/77.355404, 20060817)
