bigchaindb-driver 0.5.0a4

Python driver for BigchainDB

BigchainDB Python Driver

• Free software: Apache Software License 2.0

• Documentation: https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/py-driver/

Features

• Support for preparing, fulfilling, and sending transactions to a BigchainDB node.

• Retrieval of transactions by id.

Install

We recommend you use a virtual environment to install and update to the latest stable version using pip:

pip install -U bigchaindb-driver

If this fails, ensure you have python 3 installed, if you have both versions of python installed, to install and update using pip:

pip3 install -U bigchaindb-driver

If you want to install a non-stable version, i.e. a pre-release, check out the pypi history and choose your version to install.
