Ok Thanks,
I'm now at the point where it's trying to import the chain module:
someone has graciously pointed me to an x13 hash module ... I ran the setup.py file, and it installed the python packages.
I still need the x13 hash .py and .pyc files to copy to ABE's \Chain\ directory.
1. General advice: you
do not want to copy .pyc or .pyo files, they are machine-specific (byte-)compiled code, Python's equivalent of C's .o files. Your machine will generate its own from the Python source.
2. Save the code below as Abe/Chain/X13Chain.py

from . import BaseChain
class X13Chain(BaseChain):
"""
A blockchain that hashes block headers using the X13 algorithm.
The current implementation requires the x13_hash module:
https://github.com/mindfox/x13-hash
"""
def block_header_hash(chain, header):
import x13_hash
return x13_hash.getPoWHash(header)
A quick comparison of the above code with the
existing X11Chain.py code will be repaid by a better understanding of the programming skills used here
ImportError: No module named myX13coin
Given the above, you can now move to importing X13Chain instead of myx13chain.
If your coin has PoS, you'll probably need to import and inherit from PpcPosChain. If so, save this code as Abe/Chain/X13PosChain.py and use “X13PosChain” as the policy.
