Python pandas datareader isn't working

Question

Today, I was grabbing stock data using Python's pandas_datareader. Funny thing is it worked just several hours ago, but now I'm not able to grab stock data from yahoo-finance, but I can with google. I then upgraded pandas datareader in my command terminal, pip install pandas-datareader --upgrade. I then imported the upgraded package like usual, from pandas_datareader import data, wb.

And it still won't work, but it works for grabbing stock options. It should do acccording to this documentation for pandas datareader https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pandas-datareader/0.4.0

from pandas_datareader import Options

aapl = Options("AAPL" "yahoo")
aapl = aapl.get_all_data()

With google, grabbing stock data works.

import datetime
import pandas as pd
from pandas_datareader import data, wb

start = datetime.datetime(2016, 1, 1)
end = datetime.datetime(2017, 1, 1)

aapl = data.DataReader("AAPL", "google", start, end)

Yahoo-Finance doesn't work.

aapl = data.DataReader("AAPL", "yahoo", start, end)

This is so annoying! Can anyone help get stock data from Yahoo?

Here's the traceback:

aapl = data.DataReader("AAPL", "yahoo", start, end)
Traceback (most recent call last):
