Hi
I hope that you are fine. I am trying to run / access Refinitiv data locally via Python. I am using Visual Code and Jupyter notebook (IPYNB file). I have created a virtual environment. When I try to install the refinitiv-data library locally via python -m pip install refinitiv-data I receive the error below (I have removed my user ID in the C:\ path for privacy reasons).
When I have entered this error into Copilot, it states the underlying error is due to me using Python 3.13 and the library dependencies are based on Python 3.11 (and if I install Python 3.11, rerun pip install based on this, the errors will disappear).
Can someone please confirm / explain the best way forward?
Many thanks
Debs Dey
