Background:

yfinance library is the easiest and fastest way to download historical stock prices. Asof 2023-05-20, it is not available in the defaults channel. But is available in the conda-forge channel.

Goal:

The goal here is to pull the yfinance package from conda-forge but everything else from the defaults channel.

Solution:

 % cat env_test_yfinance.yml | stuff.py
name: test_yfinance
channels:
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python=3.11
  - conda-forge::yfinance

• where stuff.py is a python script to strip out the comments - https://github.com/KamarajuKusumanchi/rutils/blob/master/python3/stuff.py
• The environment file can be downloaded from https://github.com/KamarajuKusumanchi/rutils/blob/master/python3/envs/env_test_yfinance.yml

 % conda env create -f ./env_test_yfinance.yml

 % conda list -n test_yfinance | grep conda-forge
