Error: bt.stores.IBStore

tommark

Please pardon this seemingly basic question - it has bugged me.

for the codes in https://www.backtrader.com/docu/live/ib/ib.html:

import backtrader as bt
ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=7496, clientId=35)
data = ibstore.getdata(dataname='EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO')

I get the error:

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-14-083c713fef7e> in <module>()
1 import backtrader as bt
2
----> 3 ibstore = bt.stores.IBStore(host='127.0.0.1', port=7496, clientId=35)
4 data = ibstore.getdata(dataname='EUR.USD-CASH-IDEALPRO')
AttributeError: module 'backtrader.stores' has no attribute 'IBStore'

I wonder why this error happened and how can I fix it?
Seems like on https://github.com/mementum/backtrader/blob/master/backtrader/stores/ibstore.py
The file path is backtrader/backtrader/stores/ibstore.py, rather than bt.stores.IBStore in caps?

I would rather bet that ibpy is not installed. Just test it ...

import ib
import backtrader as bt
...
