Hi QC team,
I have finally succeed to run locally lean with python from VS2019. After tried to use existing conda environment, I have installed 3.6.6 from python.org and linked QC.PythonToolbox and Algorythm.PythonTools project to this new Python Environment with VS2019.
Minimal packages has been installed:
D:\Dev2\Python36>pip list
Package Version
--------------- -------
blis 0.2.4
numpy 1.18.1
pandas 0.25.3
pip 20.0.2
preshed 2.0.1
python-dateutil 2.8.1
pytz 2019.3
setuptools 39.0.1
six 1.14.0
spacy 2.1.1
thinc 7.0.4
wasabi 0.1.4
wrapt 1.10.11
I am trying to run this config :
"environment": "backtesting", // "live-paper", "backtesting", "live-interactive", "live-interactive-iqfeed"
"algorithm-type-name": "BasicTemplateAlgorithm",
"algorithm-language": "Python",
"algorithm-location": "../../../Algorithm.Python/BasicTemplateAlgorithm.py",
And I get a stackoverflow exception:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException'
occurred in Python.Runtime.dll
The program '[9680] QuantConnect.Lean.Launcher.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
I precise that "Python.Runtime.dll" file version in debug is 1.0.5.29 ( 13.11.2019 20:02 )
Lean log is :

Importing python module BasicTemplateAlgorithm
Is there anything I must do ?

Hey Christophe,
That is very strange.
Are you sure you are running the basic template algorithm? It is possible another python algorithm may be running which is causing the stackoverflow error.
We know it's a huge hassle uninstalling and reinstalling LEAN and its counterparts. But it would be great if you could try running it again on a clean install of LEAN.
If that doesn't work, we recommend uninstalling Python completely and doing a clean installation of Anaconda with Python 3.6.8.
Best
Rahul
