StockTicker widget shows USD value but locale currency symbol

Same as this https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/2470 (CryptoTicker) but for StockTicker widget.

It shows USD value but with locale currency symbol.

I tried market = "USD" just to make sure, but that doesn’t do anything. And there’s no other option to change the currency anyway.

Also, just to be clear, you can call your version of the widget anything you like. It doesn’t have to be Custom... and the file doesn’t have to be custom_...py. The basic rules are just don’t use existing names.

The file name (minus .py) is what you import in your config. So, if you had a file called hamensman.py which contained a widget called MyAwesomeWidget, then, in your config you just do:

from hamensman import MyAwesomeWidget

or

import hamensman

# create your widget like this:
hamensman.MyAwesomeWidget()

I’ve now realised why the widget adds everything in config to the query: that way users can add any other parameters that alphavantage’s API allows without them being part of defaults.

So, really, all we need to do is add sign and symbol to defaults and add symbol to self.query.

I appreciate you’ve put a lot of effort into this (and hopefully it’s been a good learning experience for you) but I think the changes we need are much simpler.

Do you want me to create a Pull Request for this?
