newbie using pyalgotrade and yahoofinance

Question

I am trying to use yahoofinance.build_feed from pyalgotrade (version 0.18) to build a cvs file containing OHLC data. I have no clue why I get this error. Thank you for any help.

from pyalgotrade.tools import yahoofinance

instruments = ["orcl"]

feed = yahoofinance.build_feed(instruments, 2010, 2015, './csv', 86400, timezone=None, skipErrors=True)

Unfortunately, the error I got is
