Conda install BLPAPI

Question

I followed the answer in:

Anaconda - Install blpapi in environment

but could not comment because I don\'t reputation high enough. When I use conda install

Answer 1

There is no built package for python=3.5. If you look under the files section of the repo in the dsm channel you will see

linux-64/blpapi-3.9.0-py36_0.tar.bz2
win-64/blpapi-3.9.0-py27_0.tar.bz2
win-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2
linux-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2

Switching to Python 3.6 should get this to work.

Answer 2

Since this question was posted, Bloomberg put the blpapi on conda-forge, Which has more versions of the blpapi and python supported.

https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/blpapi

Answer 3

did you try ? :

conda update --all
conda create -n py35 python=3.5
activate py35
conda install -c dsm blpapi=3.9.0

you can also download from :

https://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/libraries/

and put it in the repository of python 3.5 library
