Myshellv1
=========

Problem:
========
Write a program that constitutes the following two commands:

1)greet : which will say "Hi" to the user.

2)stock : which will print the cureent stock value.

#The above commands are to be executed using the requests library.

Program-Code
============
.. code:: python

    from cmd2 import Cmd
    from getpass import getuser
    import sys
    import requests

    __version__ = '0.1'

    class Application(Cmd):
        """
       The main Application class
 
       """

        def __init__(self):
            Cmd.__init__(self)

        def do_hello(self, line):
            print "Hello:", line

        def do_greet(self,line):
            print "Hi %s :)" %(getuser())

        def do_stock(self,line):
            r=requests.get('http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quote.csv?s='+line+'&f=l1')
            data=r.text
            print data

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = Application()
        app.cmdloop()

Explanation of the code
=======================

In the code, the greet function uses the getuser() in order to get the name of the user, and displays "Hi <username>" as output.

And the stock function uses the requests.get() function to get the latest value of the stock-value, and further prints the value on taking the nasdaq symbol as input.
