Qlib Frequently Asked Questions

1. RuntimeError: An attempt has been made to start a new process before the current process has finished its bootstrapping phase...

RuntimeError:
        An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
        current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.

        This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
        child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
        in the main module:

            if __name__ == '__main__':
                freeze_support()
                ...

        The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
        is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.

This is caused by the limitation of multiprocessing under windows OS. Please refer to here for more info.

Solution: To select a start method you use the D.features in the if __name__ == '__main__' clause of the main module. For example:

import qlib
from qlib.data import D


if __name__ == "__main__":
    qlib.init()
    instruments = ["SH600000"]
    fields = ["$close", "$change"]
    df = D.features(instruments, fields, start_time='2010-01-01', end_time='2012-12-31')
    print(df.head())

2. qlib.data.cache.QlibCacheException: It sees the key(...) of the redis lock has existed in your redis db now.

It sees the key of the redis lock has existed in your redis db now. You can use the following command to clear your redis keys and rerun your commands

$ redis-cli
> select 1
> flushdb

If the issue is not resolved, use keys * to find if multiple keys exist. If so, try using flushall to clear all the keys.

Note

qlib.config.redis_task_db defaults is 1, users can use qlib.init(redis_task_db=<other_db>) settings.

Also, feel free to post a new issue in our GitHub repository. We always check each issue carefully and try our best to solve them.

3. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qlib.data._libs.rolling'

#### Do not import qlib package in the repository directory in case of importing qlib from . without compiling #####
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "qlib/qlib/__init__.py", line 19, in init

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'qlib.data._libs.rolling'

  • If the error occurs when importing qlib package with PyCharm IDE, users can execute the following command in the project root folder to compile Cython files and generate executable files:

    python setup.py build_ext --inplace

  • If the error occurs when importing qlib package with command python , users need to change the running directory to ensure that the script does not run in the project directory.

4. BadNamespaceError: / is not a connected namespace

  cal = D.calendar()

BadNamespaceError: / is not a connected namespace.

  • The version of python-socketio in qlib needs to be the same as the version of python-socketio in qlib-server:

    pip install -U python-socketio==<qlib-server python-socketio version>
