It’s possible but it’s not easy because while the necessary functions are general enough to parse and insert Finance::Quote data with historical quotes, there’s nothing that will pass a date to Finance::Quote to get an historical price. A program to do that would have to be in a combination of C and Scheme because the function which parses the F::Q data is in Scheme (and so not exportable to Python), but the code to create a session connecting to an existing database isn’t exported to Scheme.
