Problem with import about iex-api-python HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm not entirely sure what the issue is. Did you install the module with pip?

from iex-api-python.

I was getting that after installing from pip. Installing from a clone with sudo works.

Interesting. I don't see this issue on MacOS. Perhaps this is windows specific?

Seems I'm having capitalization issues. Was using Ubuntu in my previous comment, but on macOS the pip install doesn't seem to have the updated class names and wants lowercase i.e. stock('aapl'). I haven't gone back to try pip on Ubuntu, but might explain why manual install worked.

Hey @hydroplosion I recently updated the package to use more traditional class names. Now the package uses Stock instead of stock. Usage is:

from iex import Stock
aapl = Stock("AAPL")

But certain classes don't have any required arguments when creating an instance. For example, the Market class doesn't require any arguments. Because it doesn't require any arguments, its pre-instantiated and can be imported as a class or an instance:

from iex import Market
market = Market()
market.gainers()

OR

from iex import market
market.gainers()

Hope that helps.

@danielecook yes, I did notice that. This is why I am thinking pip is not updated with the latest code using capital letter class names.

oh I am sorry, I misunderstood. I think I need to release a new version.
