I tried this in backtester as well and made a post there.
I've installed backtrader2 in a new conda environment as follows with python 3.8.11 and attempted to run the hello algorithm code and get the YHOO not found error. Is there something I should be doing differently? Thanks a lot! Am excited that this looks like a good and maintained library to get started with.
pip install git+https://github.com/backtrader2/backtrader
git clone https://github.com/backtrader2/backtrader.gitpython
python backtrader/samples/sigsmacross/sigsmacross2.py

Also had to pip install requests as suggested by an earlier error but that didn't resolve it.
