A simple python utility library for representing cryptocurrency amounts

cryptils

An utility library for representing cryptocurrency amounts in Python.

Installation

pip install cryptils

Quick Start

from cryptils import BTC, ETH, USDC, USDT

# Create amounts with exact decimal precision
btc = BTC("1.5")
print(btc)  # 1.50000000 BTC

eth = ETH("2.0")
print(eth)  # 2.000000000000000000 ETH

# Arithmetic with other amounts
result = BTC("0.5") + BTC("0.25")
print(result)  # 0.75000000 BTC

# Arithmetic with built-in types (int, float, Decimal)
from decimal import Decimal

btc = BTC("1.0")
print(btc + 0.5)            # 1.50000000 BTC (added float)
print(btc + 2)              # 3.00000000 BTC (added int)
print(btc + Decimal("0.5")) # 1.50000000 BTC (added Decimal)
print(2 * btc)              # 2.00000000 BTC (int * BTC)
print(10 - BTC("2.5"))      # 7.50000000 BTC (int - BTC)

# Different currencies maintain their own precision
usdc = USDC("100")
print(usdc)  # 100.000000 USDC

# Access the raw Decimal value
print(btc.as_decimal())  # Decimal('1.50000000')

# Get the formatted string explicitly
print(btc.to_string())  # 1.50000000 BTC

Features

• Uses decimal.Decimal internally to avoid floating-point errors.
• Consistent precision handling per currency (e.g., 8 decimals for BTC, 6 for USDC).
• Simple, explicit API designed for financial precision.

Development

This project uses uv for environment management, ruff for linting and formatting, and tox for testing across Python versions.

# Setup environment
uv sync

# Run tests
