This is related to either the finance.stock.google() or sage.finance.stock.Stock().google() modular functions:
 
Is there a way to obtain data, namely historical prices, of indices, namely the S&P500?  
 
I had tried the following: 
 
sage.finance.stock.Stock("INDEXSP:INX", 626307).google(startdate="Jan+1,+1900")[:5]
 
But it didn't retrieve anything.

See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13884 for an issue with the change in how Google Finance did things, which could be directly related.

Thanks.  I looked at that link.  It doesn't address how it queries the specific equity.  I'm looking to obtain data on an index.
