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.

Solution 2:

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 :

Solution 3:

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