Need help in installing blpapi and configuring Python Interpreter

Question

I am using Python 3.5 64 bit and Windows Machine. Normally i install packages using pip installer.

For blpapi library(bloomberg API), i used the steps mentioned in answer from following question Anaconda - Install blpapi in environment

Steps I followed:

conda create -n py35 python=3.5
activate py35
conda install -c macinv blpapi

This worked fine. But it has created a separate Python Environment and Interpreter

C:\Users\bl00mb3rg\Miniconda3\envs\py35

Already i have another python interpreter which was created while intalling python 3.5 64 bit.

Which Interpreter i have to use while configuring python IDE. If i select Conda python Env, i am not able to use libraries such as 'pdblp' which i installed using pip

How to make Conda install libraries in existing python instead of creating new Environment.

Try `conda install -c mbonix blpapi` using _Anaconda prompt_ — ksai, Jul 24 '17 at 03:13

This is tangential to the question, but you do not have to use conda; per Bloomberg's API Library page, you can run:

python -m pip install --index-url=https://bloomberg.bintray.com/pip/simple blpapi

from within your existing environment.
