But this seems a bit odd since using the community edition of "pycplex" (with Anaconda) and python 3.6 causes no such issue...

Is there a way to "bypass" this version limitation with the academic version of Cplex?

There is no workaround for this issue. In the next version we plan to support Python 3.6. In the meantime, with the academic version of 12.7.1 (or 12.7.0, as in your error message) you'll have to use Python 2.7 or 3.5.  See the detailed system requirements here.
