Q:

Python libraries for bloomberg? 

I am very new with python, and I am used to work with bloomberg formulas for excel.  I am starting to use a lot more python in my analysis, is there any library that performs same functions as bdp, bdh or bcurve? 
Thanks! 
Juan

A:

I have experimented with various choices quite a bit. 
My advice is to use vanilla blpapi .  There are many good examples in the git repository.  Some helpful installation notes are also here . 
There are packages built on top, such as pdblp that, in my opinion, are very good but not required by most people.
