drand-verify 0.2.1

Verify drand beacons and derive their randomness.

A python interface for drand-verify

Based on drand-verify

Made with PyO3

Installation

Install from PyPi

pip install drand-verify

Alternatively, you can build from source using maturin (requires cargo and PyO3)

git clone https://github.com/very-lame-username/python-drand-verify.git
cd python-drand-verify
pip install maturin
maturin build --release
pip install ./target/wheels/whatever-the-wheel-is-called.whl

Usage

Returns the randomness for the given round if the input is valid.

Attempting to verify an invalid/incorrect input will raise a ValueError.
