Data from yahoo! finance is an excellent medium to observe options prices and doing simple quests and calculations for the unindexed parameters. The best part, that such data became freely available to the public (I do not know exactly where it comes from, but for studying and testing purposes is excellent). However, making use of the Black Scholes formula with the downloaded data is a total nightmare to obtain (yes, I can save you some time with my going around the bush script if you want to come up to speed with this development).
After a nice day with reading about python, I finally made a put-call graph that normally you do not see in any classes. I will polish it and make it more readable in the future.
