@Sergey Golubev @Marco vd Heijden Apologize for explicitly referring you in the comment. But the above issue is never addressed by anyone and since a long time. I do not know what new things are there in the latest version as I am not able to install it. Even on the new machine I am not able to install it using the pip install Metatrader5 command. I am using Python 3.5.0

It is supported version I guess.

Please let me know something regarding it. Please.

You can make a post on this thread (Russian forum thread) https://www.mql5.com/ru/forum/306688/page28 and I am sure - someone will help or advice.

Is this not your maintained repository?

I am not a coder so I suggested to you to make a post on the python thread where the admins from MQ are posting/replying to the questions.
or you can wait when someone will reply here ..
