I am trying to setup IBridgePy for the first time. I am following the instruction given under course "Automated trading with IBridgePy using Interactive Broker" and I am getting error as ImportError: DLL load failed while importing IBCpp: The specified module could not be found. Please help.

Hi Ashutosh,



This error most likely occurs if the downloaded IBridgePy version does not match the Python in your system. The other reason for the error is that there are multiple Python installed in your system. You can go through the steps in this link to resolve the same. 



Hope this helps!



Thanks,

Akshay

Hi,



If the problem is still there after going through the steps in the link, then a workaround it to install IBridgePy on docker and run it. You can find the details for the same here.
