Is IdentityDataConsolidator available in Python version of QuantConnect?
Trying to use it gives me an error.
During the algorithm initialization, the following exception has occurred: TypeError : cannot instantiate an open generic type at Initialize in main.py:line 23 :: self.consolidator = IdentityDataConsolidator(); TypeError : cannot instantiate an open generic type

Hi Ju Joh,
IdentityDataConsolidator<T> takes a data type in its construction because it is a generic type. You can use BaseData as the type for your consolidator because most data in Lean, like TradeBars and QuoteBars, are BaseData types.
In python, we can declare our consolidator like this
self.consolidator = IdentityDataConsolidator[BaseData]()

Gotcha. Thank you!
