bananopie 0.1.3.2

A python library to simplify sending and receiving Banano. Also a RPC wrapper.

Bananopie

Bananopie is a python library for the Banano cryptocurrency. It aims to be the python equivalent of Banano.js, and not just a RPC wrapper (Sending, receiving, changing rep functions are very high level).

Installation

pip install bananopie

Bananopie is on pypi.

Notes

• There is an outdated fork of Bananopie for Nano, also made by me, called nanohakase. It should suit most of your needs, but if you need new Bananopie features, fork Bananopie, change the work difficulty to FFFFFFF800000000, decimals to 31, and you should be good to go.
• When running on Replit (ew), installing Bananopie may fail if you do not have gcc installed (nix package: libgccjit).

Quick Start

First, start with a RPC class, for read only

from bananopie import *
rpc = RPC("https://kaliumapi.appditto.com/api")

#check current blockcount
print(rpc.get_block_count()["count"])

#get last 10 transactions of JungleTV
print(rpc.get_account_history("ban_1jung1eb3uomk1gsx7w6w7toqrikxm5pgn5wbsg5fpy96ckpdf6wmiuuzpca", count=10)["history"])

#check balance of JungleTV
print(raw_to_whole(int(rpc.get_account_balance("ban_1jung1eb3uomk1gsx7w6w7toqrikxm5pgn5wbsg5fpy96ckpdf6wmiuuzpca")["balance"])))

For sending/receiving transactions, use a Wallet.

from bananopie import RPC, Wallet
rpc = RPC("https://kaliumapi.appditto.com/api")

my_account = Wallet(rpc, seed="seed here", index=0)

#or generate a new one
my_new_account = Wallet(rpc, index=0)

print(my_new_account.seed)

#get address of self
print(my_account.get_address())

#get balance of self
print(my_account.get_balance())

#send 1 banano to the faucet development fund
print(my_account.send("ban_3pdripjhteyymwjnaspc5nd96gyxgcdxcskiwwwoqxttnrncrxi974riid94", "1")["hash"])

#receive funds
my_account.receive_all()

#change rep
my_account.change_rep("ban_3catgir1p6b1edo5trp7fdb8gsxx4y5ffshbphj73zzy5hu678rsry7srh8b")

#change seed index
my_account.index = 2

Bananopie can also generate work, albeit slowly. This is useful when using node that don't support generating work. Also, the legacy parameter can be passed to the RPC class when the RPC supports the deprecated pending RPC call instead of the newer receivable call.

from bananopie import RPC, Wallet

no_work_rpc = RPC("https://public.node.jungletv.live/rpc", legacy=True)

my_work_account = Wallet(no_work_rpc, seed="seed here", index=0, try_work=True)

#will generate work locally!
my_work_account.send("ban_3pdripjhteyymwjnaspc5nd96gyxgcdxcskiwwwoqxttnrncrxi974riid94", "0.0042")

Utility functions are also provided.

import bananopie

#whole to raw banano
print(bananopie.whole_to_raw("492.2"))

#raw to whole banano
print(bananopie.raw_to_whole(1900000000000000000000000000))
