I practiced importing stock market data from Google Finance into a Pandas DataFrame:
import pandas as pd
from pandas import Series
path = 'http://www.google.com/finance/historical?cid=542029859096076&startdate=Sep+22%2C+2001&enddate=Sep+20%2C+2016&num=30&ei=3HvhV4n3D8XGmAGp4q74Ag&output=csv'
df = pd.read_csv(path)
So far, so good, and df also shows the complete dataset I need.
However, when calling certain columns, for example
df['Date']
Python shows error codes below:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-31-cb486dd31fbc>", line 1, in <module>

KeyError: 'Date'
On the other hand, other columns like df ['High'] are ok. Anyway, can I fix this problem?
