rtscli - Realtime Stock Ticker CLI

• A stock ticker that runs in console
• It grabs info from Google Finance Api every 10 seconds, or if you press R
• It's pretty simple but if you wanna read through a blog post instead: https://aranair.github.io/posts/2017/06/28/building-a-python-cli-stock-ticker-with-urwid/

NOTE!! This has been changed to use https://www.alphavantage.co because Google Finance does not seem to work reliably anymore (IPs get blocked and it just plain out doesn't work)

You can get a free API key with a limited number of queries per second and so this has been tweaked to just refresh every 60s now. Put the api-key into alphavantage-creds.txt and it should work as usual.
