IB is not definted

[evergreen2mdt]

Hi. New here. I'm having a great deal of trouble importing ib_insync. Any help would be great. I pasted the following code:

from ib_insync import *

util.startLoop() # uncomment this line when in a notebook

ib = IB() ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 7497, clientId=1)

contract = Forex('EURUSD') bars = ib.reqHistoricalData( contract, endDateTime='', durationStr='30 D', barSizeSetting='1 hour', whatToShow='MIDPOINT', useRTH=True)

convert to pandas dataframe:

df = util.df(bars) print(df)

The error I receive is always:

C:\Users\evergreen\PycharmProjects\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:\Users\colby\PycharmProjects\test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\evergreen\PycharmProjects\test.py", line 1, in from ib_insync import * File "C:\Users\evergreen\PycharmProjects\ib_insync.py", line 4, in ib = IB() ^^ NameError: name 'IB' is not defined

This error could be caused by several reasons. One possibility is that the ib_insync library is not installed correctly or there is a problem with the installation. You can try reinstalling the library by running "pip install --upgrade ib_insync" in your command prompt/terminal.

Another possibility is that there is a naming conflict with another file or module named ib_insync. Make sure that you do not have any other files or modules with the same name in your working directory or PYTHONPATH.

It may help you.

Rename your script to something other than ib_insync.py.
