I'm changing so much the code that I got lost now.
Code so far: http://pastebin.com/u4xwZuyJ
I'm getting this error. 'value = float(row[-1])' is getting the values OK,
but when I do 'rates[row[0]] = value' it screws things up.
===========================
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:.../currency.py", line 48, in <module>
date = get_rates()
File "C:.../currency.py", line 40, in get_rates
print(rates[row[0]] + " / VALUE : " + str(value))
KeyError: 'U.S. dollar '
Process finished with exit code 1
===========================
