install datetime python library?

[dhcho-dnotitia]

Hello, currently trying to use your wonderful work.

when trying to fetch some historical data (tics or trade logs), I've got some errors which designates that there is no 'datetime' library.

I tried to install to the library into the running docker container as below but still failed to resolve the error.

sudo wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Python39-32/python.exe -m pip install datetime

any ideas on it?

Hi. So you mean internal Wine misses datetime library, don't you? Can you copy the log here?

I tried to follow the example in the link.

After mt5 login,

from_date=datetime.datetime(2020,1,1)
to_date=datetime.datetime.now()
history_orders=fxs.mt5_l.history_orders_get(from_date, to_date, group="*GBP*")

the output msg is as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

hope the datetime library would be installed via Dockerfile. I tried to do it but failed..
