Datastream Python API - ConnectionError

I have experienced in the last couple of days a problem with
the Datastream Python API. If I want to download a list of fields (for instance
RIC code, ISIN code etc.) providing a list of Datastream codes in the get_data
function, I get the following error message:

ConnectionError:
HTTPConnectionPool(host='datastream.thomsonreuters.com', port=80): Max retries
exceeded with url:
/DswsClient/V1/DSService.svc/rest/Data?token=kIMfHviia3V7Lo1vpCmD7s2jg2mOrdXPg3fqa%2FSTR5KsHCzRejTR9DlSYINMSbFCmqXmAXyAD5tj%2FvbHJvf9ZZ68tK0XgAUO3jlU5%2BokNLBlohLc9yXsMt%2BSpJ1EDRXqzFDOtuNeRstnOs6%2Fl0tpQKsisnxou4GO7yQ6sWZRw0cdJyZl6P3Z%2FrTcIbMJPAChI3j61dWt%2FbmvQuTNrukMIQoUfsnThQYICbFJA%2B%2BqOB8%3D22EB4EB81E7B9909534E63CDA68E8A94D9083132&instrument=325972&datatypes=NAME%2C+RIC%2C+ISIN%2C+ESTAT&datekind=Snapshot&start=&end=&freq=
(Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at
0x00000000107135C0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10013]
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access
permissions',))

I also tried to loop through the DS codes, such that I ask
the info related to one stock per cycle, but still I sometimes get the same
error, by the way totally random, in the sense that each time it stops at a
different stock. I thought it was a problem related to the maximum amount of
data points per request, but this randomness seems to exclude this cause.

The same code which now gives problems was perfectly working
until three days ago, and I did not change anything on my side.

Could you please help me?
