F::Q not working... any ideas for workaround ?

[D]

Brad, GB,

This is an approach that would be difficult to do on a Mac, since users have to specially compile Gnucash to include python bindings. I don't know about for Windows, but it may be an issue there, too.

Long term, that may be a viable approach, but if you're going to go that route, using and modifying the established tool (Finance::Quote) might be more helpful to the communities that use that tool.

Looking at the (extremely dated, and therefore perhaps incomplete or incorrect) wiki page for python in Gnucash, I see https://github.com/hjacobs/gnucash-stock-portfolio mentioned, which might be a starting point for you if you're set on using python.

It might be possible to use this

and then use the python backdoor to import the prices.

There might be something useful here:

I'm going to wait a few days to see if someone smarter gets this sorted 
out :)
