Incorrectly defined object. Problem with importing an object from the library

Question

Here is the code for making order on IB with Python. This code works, but I get one error. In the end I try to make an order, but get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
Getting the time from the server... 
  File "C:/Users/B/PycharmProject/1/api1.py", line 117, in <module>
    order1 = order.Order()
AttributeError: type object 'Order' has no attribute 'Order' 
IB error id -1 errorcode 2104 string Market data farm connection is OK:usfarm.nj
IB error id -1 errorcode 2104 string Market data farm connection is OK:usfuture
IB error id -1 errorcode 2104 string Market data farm connection is OK:cashfarm
IB error id -1 errorcode 2104 string Market data farm connection is OK:usfarm
IB error id -1 errorcode 2106 string HMDS data farm connection is OK:ushmds.us
IB error id -1 errorcode 2106 string HMDS data farm connection is OK:ilhmds
IB error id -1 errorcode 2106 string HMDS data farm connection is OK:njhmds
1544354853  

I guess the problem is in the 5th and 6th rows. When I delete them, I get "name 'order' is not defined". I think I just define it incorrectly. Maybe someone faced with the similar problem/error?

Answer 1

The error is telling you that you have a class, order, which doesn't have an attribute Order. That is because of this line:

from ibapi.order import Order as order

where you import the class Order, but rename it to order. I don't know why you have done that, but don't. Either import the module:

from ibapi import order

and keep your existing instantiation code:

order1 = order.Order()

Or, import the class without renaming:

from ibapi.order import Order

and do

order1 = Order()
