python-canslim's Issues

No longer works due to MacroTrends blocking automated access to their site

Not requesting a fix, just letting you know MacroTrends can detect automated access and will spit out false html source data when using BeautifulSoup to parse the data. This will cause the rest of the program to fail the try-block in get_eps.py
