Problem with Boursorama

[David Reiser]

It isn't a quote source problem, it's a Finance-Quote issue. I tried 
writing a module for F-Q to handle funds. First I got a bizarre response 
that they couldn't accept the copyright statement in the module. I had 
copied an existing F-Q module, changed less than 10% of the code and 
(rightfully, I think) left the original copyright info intact along with 
a minor addition.

When I tried again, I got the response that they weren't particularly 
interested in pursuing being able to handle fund quotes.

It is true that Yahoo keeps changing their quote system arbitrarily, 
making it hard to keep F-Q modules current. And my observation is that 
many funds don't want you to be able to get a quote easily for their 
value. So, while I think upstream Finance-Quote is being less than 
helpful, they aren't the only impediment to a stable source for fund quotes.
