Question about Installing IBridgePy with Python 3.9 on Windows

AI & Machine learning

Hi,



I'm reaching out for some advice on installing IBridgePy on my Windows computer.



I noticed that the Python version in both virtual environments (General/ML) is version 3.9.5.

Setting Up Python On Your System (quantinsti.com)



On the IBridgePy portal page, I only see download options for Windows that support Python 2.7, 3.7, and 3.8.

IBridgePy Portal (ibridgepy-portal.herokuapp.com)

 


Is there a way for me to install IBridgePy in my Python 3.9 virtual environment?
Would you recommend downloading an earlier Python version instead?
Any guidance you can provide on getting IBridgePy set up would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,



I suggest you create a separate virtual environment with Python version 3.8 and proceed with the IBridgePy installation. You can refer to this link to check the commands to create a virtual environment with a specific Python version.



Hope this helps!



Thanks,

Akshay
