I am trying to simply connect to the ibapi (Interactive Brokers API), but I am having some technical troubles with Python 3.7 .
What I did so far:




  1. I installed the latest version for Windows 10 of the API

  2. I ran C:TWS APIsourcepythonclient and run python setup.py install


I got:



ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ibapi' 


when I try to import it
What I am doing wrong here and how can I fix this simple error?



My flask project is created in a virtual env named Ibconnect ( (IBconnect) C:UsersAdmindevIBconnect> on the command Windows ) and I think that I have to install the python client here but I don't know how to do it.
