I am trying to write this program to find out which stocks are good to buy. When I try to execute it, it gives me the following result:

msft 28.81 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Myname/Desktop/Stock.py", line 11, in print(o.group(1)) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

This is in python 3.3 on Windows Proffesional 64 bit. I am using Urllib as well. Can anyone help please?

The website I am getting data from is Yahoo finance MSFT (Microsoft.

Code:

sorry guys here is the code:

from urllib import request

import re
import urllib

websites = ['msft','aapl','ddd','intc','csco','goog','mcd','s']

for i in websites:
url = ("http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q?s="+i+"&ql=1")
html = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
data = re.search(r'<span id="yfs_l84_([\w]+)">([\w.]+)</span>',str(html.read()))
fifty_two_week_high = re.search(r'<span>([\w.]+)</span>',str(html.read()))

print(data.group(1),data.group(2))
print(fifty_two_week_high.group(1))
