bds produce duplicated results

[anxl2008]

Sample call: 'blp.bds(['AAPL US Equity', 'IBM US Equity', 'T US Equity', 'F US Equity'], flds = ['EQY_DVD_ADJUST_FACT'])'

This will produce duplicated output for same ticker. This bug can be fixed by altering blp.bds() and blp._bds_().

In bds(): request was created and passed to map(part, tickers). The map function will keep appending to request until all tickers are iterated.

As a consequence, in _bds_():

• map for AAPL: request = ['AAPL']
• map for IBM: request = ['AAPL', 'IBM']
• map for T: request = ['AAPL', 'IBM', 'T'} ...

This can be fixed by moving process.createrequest() call from bds() to inside the _bds\() function.

Great advice. Should be good in 0.7.6a3.
