Anaconda - Install blpapi in environment

Question

I have py2.7 as my original Anaconda install, and have installed py3.4 in an environment named py3.

I cannot seem to be able to install blpapi

Answer 1

One solution would be creating a Python 3.5 environment:

conda create -n py35 python=3.5

activating it:

activate py35

and installing blpapi form the channel dsm:

conda install -c dsm blpapi 

The channel dsm is an Anaconda channel. It provides these files:

win-64/blpapi-3.9.0-py35_0.tar.bz2  
win-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2  
linux-64/blpapi-3.5.5-py27_0.tar.bz2

This means blpapi is available for Windows for Python 2.7 and 3.5 but not for 3.4.

To find a package, enter the package name in the Anaconda search window (top of page).
