Python TorChat not connecting

[Jzarecta]

I tried to run torchat by unziping the tarball, and execute the torchat.py with the following output:
(0) [tc_client,2092,startPortableTor] very strange: portable tor started but hostname could not be read (0) [tc_client,2093,startPortableTor] will use section [tor] and not [tor_portable]
I get a dialog but nothing else, the buddies still offline and I dont get a torID (should be autogenerated but it doesnt). I also dont find a setup manual or README, where is the documentation on this project?
