Python client for lightstreamer

[femi]

Hi,

I am trying to connect to IG streaming api with lightstreamer with Python. I am using the the light streamer stock list demo implementation on Github with the parameters modified for IG index. I appear to be getting a server error, When i use the same details on IG streaming companion, i was able to connect to the server successfully, which makes me suspect that this is not a server issue.

see my debug logs below

urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - Starting new HTTPS connection (1): demo-api.ig.com

urllib3.connectionpool - DEBUG - https://demo-api.ig.com:443 "POST /gateway/deal/session HTTP/1.1" 200 359

root - ERROR - -2


Server response error:
%sA system error occurred.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Hi Femi,

consider that the Python demo is just an example of how to implement the Network Protocol, so it is possible that some corner case has not been taken into consideration.

Anyway, we'll be going into a debug session to check what goes wrong when connecting with IG and get back to you with more information.

Thanks,
Gianluca
