Thanks for reaching out to us.
You need to import the DatastreamPy package, set a username and password, and then call that function.
import DatastreamPy as DSWS
ds = DSWS.Datastream(username = "<username>", password = "<password>)
ds.get_data(tickers='<.HSI>', fields=['PI','PE'], kind=0)The DatastreamPy library is available at https://pypi.org/project/DatastreamPy/.
The output is:
I hope that this information is of help.

@Jirapongse thank you very much for your quick response. Can i check with you for the username and password is there any way i can store it in a notepad and then retreive it with a config parser, just like the method in eikon? i am hoping to not have to put the username and password explicitly in the codebook but rather have it read from a notepad so that username and password is not exposed. Thank you

Yes, you can.
Typically, I stored them in the text file and then set them in the DSWS.Datastream method.
f=open("account.txt","r")
row = f.readline()
field = row.split(",")
username = field[0]
password = field[1]
ds = DSWS.Datastream(username = username, password = password)The content in the account.txt is:
<usernmae>,<password>
