[0.2.59] curl_cffi won't compile

Author: gene-gitCreated May 6, 2025Updated Aug 24, 2026

I realize this is now listed as a requirement - but its not available on my system and looks to be a bit of a pain to build.

Is there any way to keep using yfinance without curl_cffi ?

At some point I will work on building curl_cffi package but I cannot do it for some time still.

So be great if there's a way to have it continue to work without it.

Example of 'pain to build' is curl_cffi wont compile with current gcc (15.1.1) [1] and requires 2 major version old compiler (gcc-13). This is likely why some distros may be loathe to include it. Bug reported 5 months ago and stalled.
