Unable to import psse34/psspy from Anaconda2.7 32bit python interpreter

While I am able to import psse34/psspy from IDLE (the built-in python interpreter of PSSE), I am not able to do so from Anaconda interpreters. I have appended PSSPY34 path to the python system path, and also added PSSBIN to the OS path variable, but no luck. I tried with all different versions of anaconda: 32/64 bit and 2.7/3.7 python. But I am getting the same error for all versions: 'ImportError: Bad magic number in psspy.pyc' in case of importing psspy, and 'ImportError: Bad magic number in pssloc.pyc' in case of importing psse34. Is anyone able to run PSSE34 from Anaconda before?

Code:

(base) C:>python

Python 2.7.16 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Mar 14 2019, 15:49:40) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import os

import sys

psse_path = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSBIN"

os.environ['PATH']=os.environ['PATH']+';'+psse_path

pssepythonpath = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY34"

sys.path.append(pssepythonpath)

import psse34

Traceback (most recent call last):

Setting up Anaconda to work with PSSe is a little tricky. PSSe v.34 is still a 32-bit application,therefore Anaconda has to be also a 32-bit version (for python 2.7 or python 3.4)

Anaconda install a version of python in its own directory. When running this Anaconda installed python, the path to psspy shall be appended to its sys.path. So in your scenario, above, assuming you open a CMD window or within the IDE Spyder (comes with Anaconda) showing that Anaconda's python v2.7 is running, then to connecto to PSSe v.34:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda2>python
Python 2.7.15 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, May  1 2018, 18:37:12) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

>>> import os,sys
>>> psspypath = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE34\PSSPY27"
>>> sys.path.append(psspypath)
>>> import psse34
>>> import psspy
>>> psspy.psseinit(15000)

Similar declaration can be formed when setting Anaconda with python v.3.4 and PSSe v.34 for python v.3.4

Your code here says you are using Python 2.7 to import the psspy for Python 3.4. Of course you would get a bad magic number as a result. You either need to import the psspy for Python 2.7 or use Python 3.4 to import the psspy for Python 3.4. PSSE does not support Python 3.7.
