OK, Retr0h... I have the code installed and when I launch the load_balancer.py file, I get what seems to be a prevailing stack trace, around setup.py:

 

"Exception: Versioning for this project requires either an sdist tarball, or access to an upstream git repository."

 

stemming from line 118 of load_balancer.py. Googling this error, I get all kinds of patch discussions, but no details on how to fix this issue. Any ideas?

Hi Gregg - Did you install all the libraries in requirements.txt? Probably want to run: pip install -r requirements.txt Also, keep in mind this makes quite a bit of my own assumptions. Was intended as examples for others, since I had to dig a lot of this up in the API specs.
