How to install this module to use commands? I am using Windows 7 and Python 3.xx.

Thank you so much!

You can simply place it in the same directory as your script, and you can import it.

"" , C:\Python31\Lib\site-packages\ystockquote.py. import ystockquote.

python 2.x, python 3 , python 3. , . python 3, win7 python 3. , test.py, :
