It appears that you're missing python-configuration package, which is one of the dependencies of RDP Library for Python. Try running "pip list" from Command Prompt and see if the returned list of libraries contains python-configuration. If you installed RDP Library for Python from PYPI (using "pip install refinitiv-dataplatform"), then python-configuration package should have been installed automatically.

I've the same issue. in the pip list, I have refinitiv-dataplatform 1.0.0a7.post1

What does it mean the last part "1.0.0a7.post1"?

To answer your question, "1.0.0a7.post1" is simply the version number of the library. It has no other significance.
