in Eikon Data APIs

I was trying to use the following code:

temp = eikon.get_data('BATS.L', ['TR.TURNOVER.Date','TR.TURNOVER'], parameters={'SDate': '2017-06-25', 'EDate': '2017-0 9-25'})

but I am getting following error message:

TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object does not support item assignment

~\eikon-1.0.0b2-py3.6.egg\eikon\data_grid.py

if parameters: payload.update['parameters'] = parameters

    The version you're using is an Alpha. You should update your eikon lib with the latest 0.1.9 Beta version. You can retrieve it from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/eikon.

    Then, parameter EDate has wrong value : '2017-0 9-25' => space character cause Bad Request error. Could you test again with this request :

    >>> temp = ek.get_data('BATS.L', ['TR.TURNOVER.Date','TR.TURNOVER'], parameters={'SDate': '2017-06-25', 'EDate': '2017-09-25'})
    >>> temp
    (   Instrument                  Date     Turnover
