Unable to locate english.txt file when trying to install Python Bitcoin module
Question: When I try and import pybitcointools using "from bitcoin import *" from
(<https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools>) I get the following error,
indicating the "english.txt" file is missing from one of the installation
directories. How do I fix this?

Answer: This is related to a `pybitcointools` bug where the Pypi bitcoin .tar did not
include the newly referenced `english.txt` file. This has since been fixed in
v1.1.42.

The issue is described here:
<https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointools/issues/138>

To fix your installation, you can reinstall `pybitcointools` from
[Pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bitcoin) or run `pip install --upgrade
pybitcointools`
