cant install Eikon Package

alevas

Hi, I have trouble installing eikon package in python. I have tried several methods, and it fails each time. It requires me to have some old package version, of "H2" package and "chardet" package which makes no sense, as they are from 2017. Also they do not exist anymore. My python version is 3.9.7. So it's up to date. So my question is why do i get these errors?

From the log file, you are using https://pypi.python.org/pypi as an index URL.

I got the same error when using this index URL.

pip install --no-cache-dir --verbose --log pip.log --index-url https://pypi.python.org/pypi "pyee<=9.0.4"
Using pip 23.1.2 from C:\Users\U8009686\source\repos\PythonApplication1\PythonApplication1\env\lib\site-packages\pip (

Hi @alevas ,

Could you please let me know which command did you use to install the Eikon package for further investigation?

@alevas

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The followings are the dependencies of eikon 1.1.16.

    install_requires=[
        "httpx>=0.18.0",
        "nest_asyncio>=1.5.1",
        "datetime",
        "pandas>=1.0.0",
        "numpy>=1.11.0",
        "appdirs>=1.4.3",
        "python-dateutil",
        "websocket-client>=0.54.0,!=1.0.0",
        "deprecation",
        # requests-async requirements
        "certifi",
        "chardet==3.*",
        "h2==3.*",
        "idna==2.*",
        "rfc3986==1.*",
        "requests==2.*",
    ],

h2==3.* is available on Pypi (https://pypi.org/project/h2/3.2.0/).

According to the error, you are using h2==4.1.0 and it is unable to find the version of Eikon Data API that supports h2==4.1.0.

You may consider using the Refinitiv Data Library for Python (https://pypi.org/project/refinitiv-data/) with the Desktop session instead.

The dependency libraries of the Refintiv Data Library are:

appdirs<=1.4.4,>=1.4.3
pyee<=9.0.4
httpx<=0.23.0,>=0.18
httpcore<=0.15.0
PyMySQL>=1.0.2
numpy<=1.23.4,>=1.11.0
pandas<1.6.0,>=1.3.5
python-dateutil<=2.8.2
requests<=2.28.1
scipy<=1.9.3
six<=1.16.0
tenacity<8.1.0,>=8.0
watchdog<=2.1.9,>=0.10.2
websocket-client!=1.2.2,<=1.5.1,>=0.58.0
pyhumps<=3.8.0,~=3.0.2
jinja2<4.0.0,>=3.0.3
simplejson~=3.15

The Refinitiv Data Library examples are on GitHub.

@Jirapongse when using the pip install h2==3.2.0 command i get:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyee<=9.0.4 (from refinitiv-data) (from versions: 11.0.0)ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyee<=9.0.4

When i install refinitiv data library for python i get a new error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyee<=9.0.4 (from refinitiv-data) (from versions: 11.0.0)ERROR: No matching distribution found for pyee<=9.0.4

Again, i can only install the newer versions of this packages. It wont let me install older versions of them.

pip install eikon

@alevas

You may connect to the repository that doesn't maintain the older versions.

You can run the pip command with the --verbose and --log options.

pip install --no-cache-dir --verbose --log pip.log "pyee<=9.0.4"

Then, check the log file (pip.log).

Can you see something that isnt correct?
@Jirapongse

alevas

how do i change to look upon the index url? when installing the package?

Jirapongse

You can use the --index-url option or verify the pip configuration file.

alevas

Thank you very much @Jirapongse it worked flawlessly!
