Requesting historical data from Lean in python - Fatal Python error: deallocating None
Dmitry Kovalevskiy

I was trying to understand how BasicTemplateFuturesHistoryAlgorithm.py works - when I use it, it breaks when I try to request more than 12*60 + 30 minutes (it works when I request 12 hours and 30 minutes and breaks when I request 12 hours and 35 minutes). I get the following error Fatal Python error: deallocating None
The only changes I've made was increasing the window size from 10 minutes to 12.5 hours.
Lean comes with a week of data (2013,10,7) - (2013,10,11), so if I request a historical data on October, 10th I should get at least 2-3 days of historical data.
Same BasicTemplateFuturesHistoryAlgorithm.cs works ok in CSharp.
I wonder if I'm using futures history wrongly or there is some problem in QC python implementation.
Help is much appreciated as I'm a little stuck here.

Hey Dmitry it sounds like an out of ram error. Deallocation is releasing a variable normally during a garbage collection. If there was an error in GC its likely just a symptom of "out of ram" in general. If you can share an example with support or here we can help further.

I've attached the example algorithm - which is the exact copy of BasicTemplateFuturesHistoryAlgorithm.py except that I request 755 bars of minute history, not 10 bars as in the example.
This code works perfectly fine in quantconnect online, but fails when I try to run it locally in Lean. Lean comes with a week of futures minute bars, so it should be able to give me 755 minute bars and more. I'm running Lean on Windows 10 with VS15 and Anaconda Python 3.6.5,
I also tried the same algo in C# and it works OK when I request 755 minute bars or more history.
If running in LEAN it'll likely be an issue with your local data provider // IB History Provider etc? You'll need to look into the limitations of whatever provider you are using.

Jared, I've been using the sample data which comes with Lean on Github, so it shouldn't be the issue with my data provider. Lean comes with a week of futures minute bars, so I should be able to request two days of history.
Hi Dmitry Kovalevskiy, I couldn't reproduce the issue locally with your algorithm locally. Could you please verify this is still an issue?
