I wrote this script that uses ystockquote-master to scrape the Yahoo Finance API for price and market cap. It is very simple and works well on my pc, however when I try to use it on my friends mac I get an error. It is a very long one so I will post it at the end. I have been struggling to find out what is going on, so hence I turned here. Background: Beginner to Novice. Here is a snippet of my code:

try:
    # py3
    from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
    from urllib.parse import urlencode
except ImportError:
    # py2
    from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
    from urllib import urlencode

def _request(symbol, stat):
    url = 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%s&f=%s' % (symbol, stat)
    req = Request(url)
    resp = urlopen(req)
    return str(resp.read().decode('utf-8').strip())
def get_price(symbol):
    return _request(symbol, 'l1')
def get_market_cap(symbol):
    return _request(symbol, 'j1')

i = 0
while i<len(NewSymbolsList):
    results = open("intermediateresults.csv", "a")
    api = [get_price(NewSymbolsList[i]),get_market_cap(NewSymbolsList[i])]
    api = re.sub("\[\'|\'|\]", "", str(api))
    results.write(str(NewSymbolsList[i]) +"," +str(api) +"\n")
    print NewSymbolsList[i], api                  
    i+=1
results.close()

Here is the error I get on my friends Mac:

An edit showing how I prepared the list to be iterated, (pretty standard I am guessing but thought it may be helpful):

symbols = open("symbolslist.txt")
readsymbols = symbols.read()
NewSymbolsList = readsymbols.split("\n")

Ok, let's try this here. I suspect that the problem that's being faced is white space related in the source file (perhaps a rogue \r?). As an added note, I introduced a couple of with clause context managers to illustrate their usage for for the file handling.

import re
try:
    # py3
    from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
    from urllib.parse import urlencode
except ImportError:
    # py2
    from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
    from urllib import urlencode

def _request(symbol, stat):
    url = 'http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%s&f=%s' % (symbol, stat)
    req = Request(url)
    resp = urlopen(req)
    return str(resp.read().decode('utf-8').strip())

def get_price(symbol):
    return _request(symbol, 'l1')

def get_market_cap(symbol):
    return _request(symbol, 'j1')

symbols = open("symbolslist.txt")
readsymbols = symbols.read()
NewSymbolsList = readsymbols.split("\n")

with open('symbolslist.txt') as ifp, open('intermediateresults.csv', 'a') as results_fp:
    for row in ifp:
        row = row.strip()
        api = [ get_price(row), get_market_cap(row) ]
        api = re.sub("\[\'|\'|\]", "", str(api))
        results_fp.write(str(row) +"," +str(api) +"\n")
        print row, api

On my computer, this prints:
