Lightstreamer in Anaconda Python Distribution

[Alessandro Carioni]

Hello,


Unfortunately, we have no experience with Anaconda and Spyder IDE.
Can you suggest what tools we need to install to reproduce your environment?

Hello and thanks,

Anaconda distribution with Spyder and Command prompt installed.
Perform a regular pip install of the lightstreamer library through the command prompt in Anaconda.
In Spyder, enter "from lightstreamer_client import *" (depending on version you may need to say lightstreamer.client or lightstreamer_client)
you will reproduce the error above.

Thanks!

The error is from a third-party library used by the Lightstreamer Python Client, which tries to print some logs to the virtual console of the Spyder IDE. It seems that this console has some limitations with respect to the standard console. Indeed if you run the same code from the Anaconda Prompt, the Client works as expected.


If possible, I’ll try to fix this issue in a next release of the SDK, but in the meantime my advice is to write your program with Spyder but to run it only from the Anaconda Prompt.
