How to connect to Eikon via python from MS power-bi?

Hi,


I am trying to connect to Eikon via python from MS power-bi.


Power bi has a connector for python. If I use following script (which works in jupyter):


import eikon as ek

import pandas as dp

ek.set_app_key('########################################')

df, err = ek.get_data(['PEUP.PA','EUR=','JPY='], ['BID','ASK'])

df


power-bi gives following error message:


Details: "ADO.NET: Python script error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 10, in <module>

import eikon as dp

import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _ssl: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

"


Why is it not working?

Many thanks in advance

@calice.l

This error is not related to any Refinitiv software. To verify, you can replace your code with a single line

import _ssl

My expectation is that with the above line of code you will reproduce the same error. Or more precisely the last part of it: "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _ssl: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden".

The error is related to the setup of your Python environment. There may be numerous reasons for the root cause. Here's a link to a thread on Stackoverflow, which may be useful.

The reason why it works in Jupyter and not in Power BI must be that your Jupyter and Power BI utilize different Python environments.
