Description: Yahoo ticker downloader
        =======================
        
        Produces .csv, .json, .yaml, and .xls files (All files contain same data in a 
        different format) for stocks, futures, ETF, indexes, mutual funds
        and currency. The ticker symbol, company name and exchange are saved.
        The category the symbol belongs to is only stored for stock symbols.
        
        It gets its data from `http://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/`_. Please note: it
        is not possible to get all the symbols due to limitations set by Yahoo.
        About 75%-90% of all symbols are gathered using this script depending on type.
