Eikon API error with Spider 3.3.3.

I recently reinstalled Spider with the newer 3.3.3 version and then executed pip install eikon from Anaconda Navigator 1.9.7 shell, which went fine. However while importing ek from a console, I am getting error, as shown below. This was working perfectly earlier.

from eikon import ek

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-2-d37fe12a15bf>", line 1, in <module>
from eikon import ek
ImportError: cannot import name 'ek' from 'eikon' (C:\Users\Admin\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\eikon\__init__.py)

Appreciate any help to get me back on track.

I think you got confused. The statement

from eikon import ek

could have never worked. It's an erroneous statement. The name 'ek' is not defined in eikon library and it never was. What you must have meant to use is

import eikon as ek

as @Jirapongse pointed out. The latter statement is a customary way of importing eikon library into your Python module.

Try this:

pip upgrade eikon
pip show eikon

To make sure that Eikon API is installed and try to use the API again.

Typically, I use the following code:

import eikon as ek

I got the same error if using "from eikon import ek".

ImportError: cannot import name 'ek' from 'eikon' (c:\python37\lib\site-packages\eikon\__init__.py)
