Thanks for bothering. I'm sorry for having been too terse. The snippet
was from an html download (wget
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/HYT/history?p=HYT). Here's a little more
of it: ". . . ED_SHORT":"At close: {date}
{time}","MARKET_TIME_NOTICE_CLOSED":"As of {date} {time}.
{marketState}","MARKE . . .". I suppose the browser gets the values
whose names appear in braces, dialoguing with the server. I believe it
is javascript. I see sections marked <script> . . . section here . . .
</script>. If it is javascript, the question would be how to run
javascript in python, unless it runs on the server by requests sent by
python from my end.
