Hi, could you give a bit more detail than nothing working? If you're trying to run the UI, I've kind of abandoned it. I suggest you use it as a library instead.

Ah OK, let me try to build it on a mac and I'll get back to you with some instructions.

On python 3.6.1 shell i got this :

Install python3 http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install3/osx/
run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 metadata_form.py

Just so you know, this project isn't really finished. It needs a bit of work to get it working. The code lets you write ddex files in python, but the user interface isn't really ready for use. Unless you're willing to spend some time helping with it, it might be worth looking at another option. Sorry, I know that's not very helpful.

Ok,
It's working now thanks a lot. Sure i can help if you need

Hey, Just to let you know, I've decided to have a go at writing a better front end for this library, I'm going to drop tkinter and try and use CEF Python instead. I'll update when I have something worth trying.

Nice move!
