This module uses publicly available data from the yahoo finance api and creates training sets to be used by the neural network

Why use yahoostocks?

Get a stock's historical market data: 

    tsla_stock = YahooStock('TSLA')

Create testing and training sets for machine learning: 

    x_training, y_training, x_target, y_target = stock_object.get_test_train_split(
        _data=stock_object.price_frame,
        _train_end_col=3,
        _batch_size=6,
        _train_ratio=.87,
        _target_column_start=5
    )

yahoostock is not affiliated with the company Yahoo(exclamation) or Tesla
