code no longer running

I'd posted some example code: [https://www.quantopian.com/posts/access-elements-returned-from-batch-transform].[1] It no longer runs...any idea what's going on? Seems that it may be related to the change to the batch transform.

--Grant

import numpy as np

# globals for get_data batch transform decorator  
R_P = 1  # refresh period in days  
W_L = 1 # window length in days

def initialize(context):  
    context.stocks = []  
    bottom = 98  
    range = 0.1  
    log.info("universe is {b} to {t}".format(b=bottom, t=bottom+range))  
    set_universe(universe.DollarVolumeUniverse(bottom, bottom+range))  
def handle_data(context, data):  
    context.stocks = [sid for sid in data]  
    # get data (select prices, volume, etc. in batch transform get_data)  
    d = get_data(data, context.stocks)  
    if d is None:  
        return  
    current_prices = np.zeros(len(context.stocks))  
    for i,stock in enumerate(context.stocks):  
        current_prices[i] = data[stock].price  
    timestamp = data[context.stocks[0]].datetime  
    print ' ----------------------------'  
    print timestamp  
    print ' ----------------------------'  
    print ' Securities'  
    print context.stocks  
    print ' Current prices'  
    print current_prices  
    print ' Trailing price window'  
    print d

@batch_transform(refresh_period=R_P, window_length=W_L) # set globals R_P & W_L above  
def get_data(datapanel,sids):  
    return datapanel['price'].as_matrix(sids)

Grant, it's running for me, and I tried a couple different date ranges. Can you tell me exactly what parameters you are trying, and what the error is? I'm attaching my example so you can see what I am missing.

Hi Dan,

I'm having the problem with minute data. I posted again here: https://www.quantopian.com/posts/unexplained-error.
