Try to install using:

pip install git+https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools

Worked for me with this:-

pip install bitcoin

[anurag0126]

pip install bitcoin

Worked for me as well

It is end of life for pybitcointools as author has stated in last commit.

However, if you manually clone code from this commit: https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools/tree/aeb0a2bbb8bbfe421432d776c649650eaeb882a5

You will be able to install version that was working before.

After I started getting the errors mentioned, I found I had to re-install Pybitcointools using pip, pointing it at the last commit hash before the repository was deleted:

pip install git+https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools.git@aeb0a2bbb8bbfe421432d776c649650eaeb882a5

I resolved my issues forking the project (into https://github.com/robermann/pybitcointools) and changing its module name: from 'bitcoin' to 'pybitcointools'.

If you want to give it a try:
pip install git+https://github.com/robermann/pybitcointools

My pip freeze:
bitcoin==1.1.42
pybitcointools==1.1.42 (installed as above)
python-bitcoinlib==0.10.1

i tried installing using methods here and the install succeeded, however when i try to run a simple example:

import pybitcointools
privkey = pybitcointools.random_key()

i get:

File "/Users/x/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pybitcointools/init.py", line 1, in
from main import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'main'

I've run with success this whole script: https://github.com/robermann/bitcoinbook/blob/82b91869e73e13745da62fc1b79cb164104113b9/code/key-to-address-ecc-example.py

The init I have is: C:\apps\Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\pybitcointools\__init__.py

What OS do you have?

simply

• install bitcoin via pip as stated above
• replace pybitcointools with bitcoin in your code
  …works for me.
