Hi I got an AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IBStore'

update:
I found it is caused by anaconda envs. after reinstalled envs and bagcktrader, it works

How did you solve this? I have the same problem no matter what environment I use, Pycharm, VS code, jupyterlab, or Python IDE...

I am the same. I am using Conda, I have backtrader and IBPY2 successfully installed and I still get this error. Any other solutions?
