Comment (by kcrisman):
Google now apparently does not return data that is more than a certain
number of years old - or at least the interface must have changed?
{{{
sage: finance.Stock('F').google('Jan+3,+1978', 'Jul+7,+2008')[:1]
[
20-Aug-92 0.00 2.26 2.21 2.24 19202479
]
sage: finance.Stock('F').google('Jan+3,+1982', 'Jul+7,+2008')[:1]

In fact, according to [http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-
cleaning-for-some-of-our-apis.html this blog post],
> These APIs are now deprecated but have no scheduled shutdown date: ...
Finance API ...
And although the data is still there if one uses e.g. a URL
[http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=AAPL&startdate=Jan%201%2C%201990&enddate=Jan%2003%2C%202013&histperiod=daily&start=5790&num=30&ei=Xs_lULgX56nQAe0t
like this] downloading the CSV only gives you so much.
What should we do, oh many Sage devels who are Google employees? ;-) I
can fix some stuff but don't want to fix more of this if it's going to be
gone eventually anyway.
