This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Python Bitcoin Library
Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies Library for Python. Includes a fully functional wallet, Mnemonic key generation and management and connection with various service providers to receive and send blockchain and transaction information.
Documentation

Disclaimer
This library is still in development, please use at your own risk and test sufficiently before using it in a production environment. Support for Dash is just for read only wallet, not for creating or sending transactions.
Features
Wallet
The bitcoin library contains a wallet implementation using sqlalchemy and sqllite3 to import, create and manage keys in a Hierarchical Deterministic Way.
Example: Create wallet and generate new key to receive bitcoins
>>> from bitcoinlib.wallets import HDWallet
>>> w = HDWallet.create('Wallet1')
>>> w
<HDWallet (id=1, name=Wallet1, network=bitcoin)>
>>> key1 = w.new_key()
>>> key1
<HDWalletKey (name=Key 0, wif=xprvA4B..etc..6HZKGW7Kozc, path=m/44'/0'/0'/0/0)>
>>> key1.address
'1Fo7STj6LdRhUuD1AiEsHpH65pXzraGJ9j'When your wallet received a payment and has unspent transaction outputs, you can send bitcoins easily. If successful a transaction ID is returned
>>> w.send_to('12ooWd8Xag7hsgP9PBPnmyGe36VeUrpMSH', 100000)
'b7feea5e7c79d4f6f343b5ca28fa2a1fcacfe9a2b7f44f3d2fd8d6c2d82c4078'Mnemonic Keys
Allows you to use easy to remember passphrases consisting of a number of words to store private keys (BIP0039). You can password protect this passphrase (BIP0038), and use the HD Wallet structure to generate a almost infinite number of new private keys and bitcoin addresses (BIP0043 and BIP0044).
Example: Generate a list of words passphrase and derive a private key seed
>>> from bitcoinlib.mnemonic import Mnemonic
>>> words = Mnemonic().generate()
>>> words
protect dumb smart toddler journey spawn same dry season ecology scissors more
>>> Mnemonic().to_seed(words)
..very long and ugly byte string which can be used as private keyService providers
Communicates with pools of bitcoin service providers to retreive transaction, address, blockchain information. To push a transaction to the network. To determine optimal service fee for a transaction. Or to update your wallet’s balance.
Example: Get estimated transaction fee in sathosis per Kb for confirmation within 5 blocks
>>> from bitcoinlib.services.services import Service
>>> Service().estimatefee(5)
