Port number was not identified. httpx api has changed.

httpx api has changed¶

I've upgraded to the latest version of eikon 1.1.6.post2 in order to solve a separate issue. However, I get the error Port number was not identified.

After doing some digging I've narrowed it to the check_port method:

APP_KEY = "..."

import logging
import eikon as ek

logger = logging.getLogger("pyeikon")
logger.setLevel(5)

desktop_session = ek.streaming_session.desktop_session.DesktopSession(APP_KEY)
await desktop_session.check_port(9000)
desktop_session._check_port_result

False

Within the eikon package I've also printed the _http_request object on line 630 of eikon.streaming_session.session.Session.

_http_request is an instance of httpx.Request. However, the api for this has changed and the prepare method has been made private as _prepare.

Note that the call to _http_request.prepare() will now throw an attribute error (as I am getting). I imagine that the devs will want to take a look and make changes as required (or lock the httpx dependency to a version that worked).

Thanks, Simon.
