#### liveValue(eur, interval=10)
Print the current amount of meuros for the given amunt of euros every interval-seconds. Comes in handy when you want to watch your life savings slowly fade away thanks to inflation.
##### When the date is set to None the current date is used. Otherwise a datetime-object is expected
## Cache
Because we dont want to annoy the ecb, we cache their data while we are running and for up to an hour on disc.
#### _loadYearsTable(maxCacheSeconds=3600)
Will reload the cache if it is older than maxCacheSeconds
## Caveats
The ecb only gives an estimate for the inflation of the last month and no data for the current month.
This libary just uses this estimate and assumes a yearly-inflation-rate of the current month (and all others months without data) of 2% (which is the stated goal-inflation-rate of the ecb).
