Hello @05032

I can replicate the same issue with Python version 3.8.3. The IDLE cannot connect to Eikon while Jupyter notebook that use the same version of Python can.

When I use Python version 3.7.x, the IDLE can connect to Eikon successfully, so could you please try with Python 3.7 version?

Hi @05032

I am not an Eikon expert - but just to eliminate the obvious - can you confirm the same version of the Eikon library is installed in the env used by Jupyter and the env used by Python IDLE?

You can check by outputting:

tr.__version__

@05032 - I saw an issue with this problem using the Pycharm IDE - in this case I think dropping back to eikon library 1.1.2 resolved it. We are currently looking into these isolated issues and library 1.1.4/1.1.5. I hope this can help. Please let us know if this resolves things for the moment.

pip install eikon == 1.1.2

Hi @05032

Please do not post your app key on a public forum.

I removed the app key from your screenshot and code.

There will be others components problem, 
thanks for your suggestion

Hi,

A new 1.1.6 version was released to fix HTTP connection issues with Python 3.8

As you set up your environment recently, I assume that your miniconda3_64 contains this version.

you can update eikon with "pip install --upgrade --no-cache-dir eikon" command line
