Sample output:

(Cmd) greet
Hi, m0rin09ma3
(Cmd) stock GOOG

Explanation

In the Application class, there are 2 methods (do_greet() for greeting, do_stock() for getting quotes from specified url)

def do_greet(self, line):
    print "Hi, %s" % os.getlogin()

def do_stock(self, line):
    quote = {'s': line, 'f': 'l1'}
    target_url = 'http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv'
    r = requests.get(target_url, params=quote)
    #print r.url
    print r.text
