This package allows performing commands such as listing the current balance and sending coins to the Satoshi (original) client from Python. The communication with the client happens over JSON-RPC.
Not actively maintained
bitcoin-python is not actively maintained. I don’t have the mental bandwidth to maintain it and good alternatives have sprung up over time.
I’d suggest python-bitcoinlib ( https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib ) as is the ultimate python bitcoin library. It offers not only RPC access but also a Python version of almost every bitcoin data structure.
The RPC is can be used through bitcoin.rpc.Proxy, see for example https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib/blob/master/examples/make-bootstrap-rpc.py.
If anyone wants to take up the maintainer role for bitcoin-python, let me know.
