make compatible with python 3.8 and some improvements about investiny HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for understading, @GSLabIt! And, @maread99 I don't have much free time but I'll try to check it at some point, in the meantime I can tell you that I'll make investiny support Python 3.8+ instead of Python 3.9+ in the next release (v0.5.0 if I'm not mistaken) coming later this weekend 👍🏻

Thanks for your proposals @GSLabIt, I agree with making it compatible with Python 3.8 but regarding the addition of the pandas dependency I'm not sure, as I want to keep investiny tiny as its name says, so I don't think that using pandas makes sense here, but I'll add an entry in the documentation for integrations and there include the explanation on how to transform the output into a pandas.DataFrame, would that be ok?

Thank you again!

Seems appropriate to mention here that I'm intending to add investiny as a data source for market_prices, hopefully next month. The interface should be exactly the same as with the existing PricesYahoo class, so...

• prices will be returned as a pandas DataFrame
• you can request any interval (limited only by availability of underlying data)
• data's cached (never requests the same data twice)
• you get a host of functionality related to knowledge of the underlying exchange's trading calendar

@alvarobartt, given your plan to keep investiny tiny, I think market_prices could prove to be a nice extension to handle post-processing of prices (and indeed evaluation of the period to query). Let me know what you think if you get a chance to have a look at it. Currently its minimum supported python version is 3.8. I wasn't intending to move to 3.9 quite yet. If it makes little difference to you, I'd certainly appreciate it if you could drop the minimum requirement here to 3.8!

(Great work on introducing intraday price data! 🎉)

Could you add info on where to find investing_id?

Hi @GSLabIt, sure I'll add a documentation entry on how to retrieve the Investing.com IDs (investing_id param), but you can find details on how to actually retrieve it by chaining the functions search_assets and historical_data at https://alvarobartt.github.io/investiny/usage/
