I'm trying to install blpapi (python 3.7.3) using the steps described in the Bloomberg API library (https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/support/api-library/)

I installed the C++ API (also from the Bloom API library) and copy pasted blpapi3_32.dll and blpapi3_64.dll to their specific folder (C:\blp\DAPI). Basically I just followed the steps described in this page : https://medium.com/@johann_78792/getting-started-with-bloombergs-python-desktop-api-5fd083b4193a

when I excute the command :

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

I get the error below:

ERROR : Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement blpapi
ERROR : No matching distribution found for blpapi

If I'm right, the python version shouldn't be the problem and I upgraded the PIP to the latest version, I also tried installing blpapi using

python -m pip install blpapi

I get blpapi-0.0.0 installed successfully (which could be found in Pypi.org), however python doesn't import it giving me this error

ImportError: No module named blpapi

Any idea of how I can manage these errors would be great.

I would use the conda package manager which greatly simplifies things. There are many gotchyas, when trying to pip install blpapi, as can be seen here, here, here and here. Via conda this can be done with

conda install -c conda-forge blpapi
