IBridgePy supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.6, not Python 3.5 and Python 3.7. You can uninstall Python 3.7 and install 3.6.



In case you are still facing the issue then share the error message and code with us to investigate further.



Thank you.

From the details that you've shared, here is what I can infer:

  1. You're using Python 3.64 (inferred from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Anaconda3_64\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py)
     
  2. The IBridgePy that you've downloaded is for Python 2.7 (inferred from C:/Users/unni.tom/Documents/Chavaru/Python/IBridgePy_Win_Anaconda27_64/RUN_ME.py)

As of today, IBridgePy supports following versions for Windows as per the information available from their website (http://www.ibridgepy.com/download/):
  1. Anaconda Python 2.7 32-bit
  2. Anaconda Python 2.7
  3. Anaconda Python 3.6
  4. Anaconda Python 3.7

I think if you download IBridgePy for "Anaconda Python 3.6" version, it should work. Please do let me know further.

Cool. Thanks Utsav. It is working now.
