python refinitiv.dataplatform module - configuration issue

hongwaiwong

I am trying to upgrade the refinitiv-dataplatform from 1.0.0a0 to 1.0.0a21. I have encountered a KeyError on config-change-notifications-enabled which is similar with one(https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/96904/refinitivdata-module-python.html)

I see there is a file named rdplibconfig.default.json under \Lib\site-packages\refinitiv\dataplatform which contain the config 'config-change-notifications-enabled'. But somehow the program failed to read it and still returns the error as shown below:

File "refinitiv\dataplatform\_external_libraries\python_configuration\configuration.py", line 155, in __getitem__
KeyError: 'config-change-notifications-enabled'

I also tried something like os.environ["RD_LIB_CONFIG_PATH"] = "./", but no lucky.

Hello @hongwaiwong

The library on the refinitiv.data module (python) old post is the strategic Data Library for Python (PyPI: refinitiv-data), not the refinitiv-data-platform (PyPI: refinitiv-dataplatform).

I strongly suggest you migrate to the Data Library for Python instead. It is the replacement for the refinitiv-data-platform which contains new features (file configuration, support more endpoints, etc.), bug fixed. You can find more detail about the Data Library for Python from the following resources:

• Quick Start page
• Tutorials page
• The Data Library for Python - Quick Reference Guide (Access layer) article.
• Data Library for Python and its Configuration Process article.
• Examples on GitHub repository.
