How to disconnect from TWS

I've been trying out scripts to get a feel of using the API, and in the process of changing the client ID I now have several connections through port 7497.

How can I disconnect from them? Either one at a time or all at once?

Here is what I've tried without success:


from ibapi.client import EClient
from ibapi.wrapper import EWrapper

class IBapi(EWrapper, EClient):
def __init__(self):
EWrapper.__init__(self)
EClient.__init__(self,self)

app = IBapi()
#app.connect('127.0.0.1', 7497, 103)
app.disconnect()
app.run()


I would've thought I could put the client_id into app.disconnect() but it throws an error.

I've enabled/disabled the "ActiveX and Sockets" setting in TWS but it seems like a crude method to use.

Do you usually put app.disconnect() at the end of every function?

 

Pull the plug. That simple

 

TWS/Gateway monitors activity on the API connections. If a connection is not active for a certain amount of time will it be discarded. But I don't know how long it takes for this to happen.

 

Is there a simple script to run to disconnect?

It comes with a connection script, but replacing connect() with disconnect() doesn't seem to be the solution.

 

Yes there is. But I don't program with Python and don't know the correct name for this disconnect command.

Thank you that solution to install an older version worked.
