DSWS Python API not working

The following code has worked without issue for a long time but as of yesterday quit working:


import DatastreamDSWS as DSWS

ds = DSWS.Datastream(username = "XXXXX", password = "XXXXX")


I'm using Jupyter Notebook and have not made any changes to Python or associated packages. The Eikon API and all other packages are working normally.

I now get the following error when running the two lines of code above.

2023-10-29 19:23:21,443 P[27904] [MainThread 27840] Failed to parse headers (url=https://product.datastream.com:443/DSWSClient/V1/DSService.svc/rest/GetToken): [MissingHeaderBodySeparatorDefect()], unparsed data: 'X-Ds-Server : DSWP11\r\nDate: Sun, 29 Oct 2023 23:23:20 GMT\r\nContent-Length: 376\r\nX-DS-VIP: DS_Web_Prod_EXT-443\r\nStrict-Transport-Security: max-age=86400; includeSubDomains\r\nX-DS-TimeTaken: 20 ms\r\nX-DS-URID: 1698621800705658565683018\r\n\r\n'

I'd appreciate assistance in being able to access Datastream as usual using the DSWS Python API.
