Thank you for reaching out to us.

According to this discussion, this eikon.cfg file may contain an application key or application id used by the Eikon Data API. Eikon Data API is a legacy library but it should work fine with Workspace.

However, it is better to upgrade the application to use LSEG Data Library for Python instead. In the LSEG Data Library for Python, the application key or application Id is an optional. You can set it via the LD configuration file or and set the default session to "desktop.workspace". Otherwise, you can ignore it by using the following code.

import lseg.data as ld
ld.open_session()

For more information, please refer to this Essential Guide to the Data Libraries - Generations of Python library (EDAPI, RDP, RD, LD) article. The LD Examples are on GitHub.
