So I downloaded the module at https://github.com/BTCMarkets/api-v3-client-python and I placed main.py inside of the Lib folder, but whenever I try 'import main' in the python interpreter, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\main.py", line 97, in <module>
    client = BTCMarkets(api_key, private_key)
  File "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\main.py", line 72, in __init__
    self.privateKey = base64.b64decode(privateKey)

    return binascii.a2b_base64(s)

Hi @Ruby-Coleman

Thanks for your feedback.

This demo app has been tested with Python 3.5.2 and it should work works after adding your API key and private key in the code (near the end of the file).

If it does not work with newer versions of Python3, please let us know and we will upgrade the sample.

Thanks.

Regards,
Martin
