导入 tia 库以从 Bloomberg 中提取数据时出现错误消息

Question

I am trying to use tia library to extract Bloomberg data directly to a data frame, been following this thread How do I store data from the Bloomberg API into a Pandas dataframe?

now, when I try and import tia using the below command import tia.bbg.datamgr as dm

I get this error msg

Traceback (most recent call last):

                              ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('unhandled event: %s' % evt.EventType)?

Anyone got clue how do I fix this?

thanks

Answer 1

You are working with Python 3. At the moment, TIA is only compatible with Python 2.

The error you are seeing is because in TIA files, print is without parentheses which is Python 2 style.

Here https://github.com/bpsmith/tia/issues/11 has a Python 3 conversion. I've been using this recently and it's pretty good.
