if exchange1.lower() or exchange2.lower() or exchange3.lower() or exchange4.lower() or exchange5.lower() is "france":
do you see the connection?
Even after you fix this, you will get always data for one country, because of the if/elifs.

I don't think lines like
elif exchange1.lower() or exchange2.lower() or exchange3.lower() or exchange4.lower() or exchange5.lower() is "germany":
do what you expect they do. I would define first
exchanges = [exchange1, exchange2, exchange3, exchange4, exchange5]
and write for example
elif any(e.lower() == 'germany' for e in exchanges):

Thank you for the answers. However, I am still struggling to get the data for all indeces

I tried to re-write the code. Once, I enter the countries specified in the code (England, USA, etc.) everything works (Except for Hong Kong, the python does not provide any bug). However, once I enter a country name out of the list (e.g. Canada) I expect that the code provides "'Incorrect arguments. Please, try another country.') However, it does not. Please, advise me on this issue

Dear Python Users,

I am struggling to change a name of database in a loop (lines 47-49). What the program is doing - it prompts a user to enter a country and automatically download the data of a stock index from Quandl database. However, once I do this, I want to call data frame like "data_country". Please, advise me this issue.

        exchange2 = input('Please, choose a second country for comparison: ')
