Trying to raise a subscription with IG but keep getting errors

[Alessandro Carioni]

Could you try running the example provided in the quickstart guide?

I’ve tried, but it doesn’t work, everything in the example is nearly right but not quiet right.

In the example is says

from lightstreamer.client import *

That doesn’t work, it needs

from lightstreamer_client import *

In the example,

sub = Subscription("MERGE",["item1","item2","item3"],["stock_name","last_price"])

It errors because Subscription is not defined.

I get round it using

subscription_data = LightstreamerSubscription("MERGE", ['MARKET:IX.D.FTSE.CFD.IP'], ['BID'])

etc etc.

Hence I wonder if the example is written on a very old version of the code.
