def eth2usd(amount):
    api_url="https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=ethereum&vs_currencies=usd"
    try:
        req = requests.get(api_url)
        req.raise_for_status()
    except Exception as err:
        print('failed to talk to Coingecko - {0} - {1}'.format(err.message, err.args))
        sys.exit(2)
    try:
        resp = req.json()
    except Exception as err:
        print('failed to parse JSON - {0} - {1}'.format(err.message, err.args))
        sys.exit(2)
    usd_value = float((resp['ethereum']['usd'] * amount))
    return usd_value

total_usd=round(eth2usd(total_eth_eth))
print('Total: ' + str(total_usd) + ' $ (@' + str(eth2usd(1)) + '$/Ξ)')
