pycrypto missing

prof7bit is right. And you should be starting application.py, not goxtool.py. Look above under "Installation"

[papamoi]

hi

could you give the detailed instruction on how to install in on windows 8

thanks

[sebastopol]

Currently the installation requires a bit of experience with Python / Qt / PyQt. Next weekend I will work on a Windows-Installer, but until then, I'm afraid I don't have much time

First I want to install goxtool, then the GUI.

Code:

[reboot@(none) ~]$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:sebastianhaberey/goxgui.git
Cloning into 'goxgui'...

Nice tool! +1 for open source!

[sebastopol]

nedievas: really sorry, wrong URL. The correct command should be:

Code:

git clone --recursive git://github.com/sebastianhaberey/goxgui.git

[nedievas]

Code:

[reboot@(none) ~]$ cd goxgui/run
[reboot@(none) run]$ chmod 755 ./start.sh
[reboot@(none) run]$ ./start.sh 
./start.sh: line 4: /usr/local/bin/python: No such file or directory
[reboot@(none) run]$

Yes, I'm not lucky today :/
P.S. I have python 2.7.3 on my fedora

[sebastopol]

No, you're just the first beta-tester try editing start.sh:

change

Code:

/usr/local/bin/python ../goxgui/application.py

to 

Code:

python ../goxgui/application.py

Thanks for going through this trouble. I will change what you find, so others will have it easier. It sounds like you're almost there, though!

[nedievas]

I did it!
+1 sebastopol

[covalence]

Great tool and nice UI - I'll try it out later today

[sebastopol]

@nedievas: Yay!

If you find bugs or have feature requests just post them here. I only have a bit of time on the weekends to develop this, and I can't promise much, but input is very welcome.

[myusername]

great tool, I will give it a try! 

[nedievas]

how to change currency? I trade in EUR.
I added API key and secret key -> Apply. Then restarted the program. BTC and USD are not active buttons...

[sebastopol]

Yeah. That would be the first feature request sorry. Currently the tool only supports USD.

[Alatar]

Great tool, unfortunately I prefer EUR too

[sebastopol]

Okay then multi-currency is definitely the top feature on my ToDo-list.
