    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?
