How to install / use it?

I get this error when I try to install it, I really don't know what I'm doing & could use some instructions on how to get started. Thanks.

$ python eloipool.py install
usage: eloipool.py [-h] [-c CONFIG]
eloipool.py: error: unrecognized arguments: install

Eloipool is not meant to be installed. Just run it from the git clone directory.

Help documenting usage would be welcome.

I started on install instructions, based on my experience thus far. They're here (incomplete):

I'm still having trouble running it, apparently I'm doing something wrong- I do 'python eloipool.py' as user, & I get these errors:

/apps/eloipool$ python eloipool.py Traceback (most recent call last):
File "eloipool.py", line 82, in
bcnode = BitcoinNode(config.UpstreamNetworkId)
File "/home/admin/apps/eloipool/bitcoin/node.py", line 146, in init
super().init(_a, *_ka)
TypeError: super() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)
admin@crypt0:/apps/eloipool$

Might this be due to there being no bitcoind running?

Looks more like an obsolete version of Python.

Deleted user commented

There are a few versions installed to my OS:
python3.4-minimal
python3.4-dev
python3-minimal
python3-dev
python3-all
python3-all-dev
python3
python2.7
python2.7-minimal

These are the newest in Ubuntu 14.04 apparently since I don't see any higher version numbers when I do:
sudo aptitude search python|grep 3

Also, when I try to purge python2.7 & python2.7-minimal
I get aptitude wanting to uninstall stuff I need.

I imagine eloipool is using 2.7 instead of 3.x based on what your saying now. Don't quite know how to fix that other than uninstalling 2.7- so now I'm a bit lost.

python3 eloipool.py

?

Oh, ok- I had no idea it would be so easy... :-D Thanks!

Now I get:
import jsonrpc
ImportError: No module named 'jsonrpc'

Maybe because bitcoind hasn't finished syncing?

Deleted user commented

The only way I was able to get it to start at boot 'as user' was to start it in a screen session (which detaches itself) & doing 'su username -c' before this startup command:

PYTHONPATH=/bitcoin/python-bitcoinrpc:/bitcoin/python-base58:/bitcoin/midstate
nohup ./eloipool.py 2>&1 >/dev/null &

Now it shows up in htop, screenshot: https://imgur.com/fhJ4FMG

So now how can I test that it works?
