You can use it with Python 3, you have to make few modifications to few files. I am looking at only BBG data download and for that you need to put braces around print statements in v3api.py. Also change "basestring" to "str".
I am also interested in this working for Python 3.x can we make a plan going forwards to get this working?
For Python 3.5 you also need to change iteritems to items.
I adapted the code to python 3.4 an works pretty well for Historical data.
how were you able to get BLPAPI to work with Python 3.5?
****scratch that, i got it to work using 3.6
@dpsugasa Is the code on your GH working for 3.6? did you issue a PR?
No the code on my GH is the same as the original. I modified the files on my PC only. I only use the library for BBG access and those files are easy to change; just follow the recommendations in the "issues". From memory you only need to update the files in the bbg folder. Most of the changes are just adding parentheses to print function. One or two items/iteritems changes also.
Let me know if I can help any further.

@dpsugasa how did you install the blpapi on python 3.6? I spoke with the help desk and they only have a experimental release for 3.5, nothing yet for 3.6. Any help would be appreciated
the blpapi works on 3.6. If the bloomberg installer won't let you install because you have 3.6, I would downgrade to 3.5, install the api, and then re-upgrade to 3.6. bloomberg isn't particularly helpful with their api in my opinion.

I am working with Python 3.6. After modifications as "put braces around print statements", "basestring" to "str" and " iteritems to items", I still get this error "'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'". It shows error in this line "433 overrides=','.join(['%s=%s' % (k, v) for k, v in self.overrides.items()]))". Any idea?
Make sure you have changed all the files in the BBG portion of the module; there are 3 or 4 files if my memory serves correctly. My repo has all the changes if you need to compare.

This does the trick nicely
2to3 v3api.py -w
and 2to3 datamgr.py -w
But one of us nice people should fork and make an update...
I've updated the whole project with 2to3 to be Python 3 compliant. It is NOT Python 2 compliant, however.

@pksw2016 not sure if this is still relevant to you, but .iteritems()
was replaced with .items()
so you can just write:
overrides=','.join(['%s=%s' % (k, v) for k, v in self.overrides.items()]))
Hey I am a big fan of this library, does someone know if there is going to be a release for python 3 at some point?
