Running BitcoinArmory on Mac OS

[Bouncner]

I recenlty re-installed my MacBook and tried to reinstall Bitcoin Armory using WyseNynja's brew tap. Last time I did it on my own, but I remember that is was kind of a "mess" since I had some trouble with different Python versions.
The brew formula executed without any problems, but when I run "python unittest.py" or other scripts that ran before I get the following error:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "unittest.py", line 320, in
BDM_LoadBlockchainFile()
NameError: name 'BDM_LoadBlockchainFile' is not defined"

I also installed BitcoinArmory manually using make and so on. Same result.

Bitcoin client 0.8 is installed and up to date.

Is that a bug in the newest release?

I took a look into ArmoryQt.py and saw that BDM_LoadBlockchainFile is never used.

In my own script I am using instead now:
TheBDM.Reset(wait=True) # just to be sure, since you more or less advised so in a comment
TheBDM.setBlocking(True)
TheBDM.setOnlineMode(True)

And this appears to be working well.

So I guess the unittest code is outdated?

Indeed, many of those unit-tests were created during the initial development of Armory, which looked a lot different than it does now. I have updated some of the unit tests (and the sample code in the "extras" directory), but not all of the unit-tests. Now that you bring it up, I will spend some time looking at that and/or removing outdated pieces.

Instead, I recommend using extras/sample_armory_code.py if you want example code for doing various things with the code base.

Well, my script is running again, so I am fine right now.
When I find the time, I'll check back in a few weeks and see if there is
still old code and will try to fix/update it.

Anyways, thanks for your work on BitcoinArmory. Compared to other libs it's
real fun and easy to work with it in Python.
