7 traps & gotchas

this is a woefully incomplete attempt to list a few "rough edges" of pyBM, which may cause confusion to newbies:

---

• https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/blob/v0.6/src/bitmessagecli.py is a CLI app to run BM which works only in /src/ move it away into some "attic" dir to avoid confusion and unclutter /src/ from "chaff".

• bitmessageui.ui in v0.6 is outdated and not used long ago. If you want to edit xml, use https://github.com/g1itch/PyBitmessage/tree/ui-refactoring Though it has translation problems. using

  pyuic4 /src/bitmessageqt/bitmessageui.ui -o src/bitmessageqt/bitmessageui.py after editing with Qt4-Designer will break the whole app now.

• even though running ./bitmessagemain.py straight away used to work, it is better to run python2 setup.py build before to avoid crashed (e.g. Fedora)
