[blpapi-3.9.0.zip](https://github.com/cuemacro/findatapy/blob/master/blpapi-3.9.0.zip), which I have
pre-built using Visual C++ 2015 version 14.0)
* `python setup.py install` (to install)
* For Python 3.4 - prebuilt executable can be run, which means we can skip the build steps above
* Prebuilt binaries are provided for Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 for Windows in both 32 and 64 bits - which means we can skip the build steps above
* Might need to tweak registry to avoid "Python 3.4 not found in registry error" (blppython.reg example) when using this executable
* You can install this prebuilt binary via pip eg.
* python -m pip install --index-url=https://bloomberg.bintray.com/pip/simple blpapi
* But note that a local installation of the C++ API is required both for importing the blpapi module in Python
and for building the module from sources, if needed.

* The library doesn't support the old Bloomberg COM API (since much slower than the new Open API)
