MetaTrader5.symbols_get() returns always NoneType object (Python Integration)

[AnarcoPhysic]

The function symbols_get() of MetaTrader5 module in Python always return NoneType object. The initialize() function works properly and account_info too (I used them to test the general functional state of the machine/environment). In fact, I have tried to run the example script in reference without sucessfull result.

What was I doing wrong?

Make sure your terminal is running the latest beta build. You can upgrade by logging into a MetaQuotes Demo account and then going to the help menu in the terminal and selecting "Check desktop upgrades". 

If that doesn't work you can import the pymt5adapter package and use some of its advanced debugging.

from pprint import pprint

import pymt5adapter as mt5
from pymt5adapter import MT5Error


def main():
    with mt5.connected(raise_on_errors=True):
        try:
            symbols = mt5.symbols_get()
        except MT5Error as e:
            print(f"The error is: {e}")
            if e.args[0] == mt5.RES_X_TERMINAL_VERSION_OUTDATED:
                print("Needs build {}. Has build {}".format(
                    mt5.MIN_TERMINAL_BUILD,
                    mt5.version()[1])
                )
        else:
            pprint(mt5.as_dict_all(symbols[:2]))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
